Torn between Gideon Prewett's steady kindness and Regulus Black's intense, brooding presence, Winifred's world is anything but simple.
"Both of them?" Lottie blinked, dropping onto Winifred's bed. "Gideon and Regulus? You're actually living in a soap opera."
Winifred groaned, "Don't say it like that."
Regulus, hiding more than he admits, grapples with family expectations and his tangled past with Demi Prewett. "I don't want to lose her. Not like I lost the rest of myself."
Demi, protective and sharp, warns Regulus, "You think you're the only one fighting?"
Through whispered confessions and daring gestures, Regulus tries to prove himself worthy of Winifred's trust. "I'm not perfect," he admits. "But I want to try-for you."
Winifred, fighting her own silent battles, including struggles she hides deep inside, responds quietly, "I'm scared. Not just of you... but of everything I'm fighting every day."
With the Marauders stirring mischief and friendships tested, Shadows & Light is a slow-burning tale of vulnerability, resilience, and the courage to love when the odds seem stacked against you.
James Potter warns, "You'd better be careful, Winifred. Regulus isn't what you think."
But sometimes, what you need most is exactly what scares you the most.
Will Winifred and Regulus find the strength to trust each other-and themselves-before the shadows consume them both?
