The Light and Her Shadow

Freya Williamson is only sixteen, but the weight on her shoulders feels much heavier. Living in the shadow of her older sister Leah - a football star and role model - Freya struggles to find her own place both on and off the pitch. As an emerging talent at the Arsenal Academy, she's on the brink of being signed to join Leah's team, and the prospect of playing for the Lionesses is closer than ever.

But beneath the bright lights and roaring crowds lies a hidden battle. Freya's anxiety and frequent panic attacks threaten to hold her back, and only Leah knows how to calm the storm inside her. The pressure to live up to the expectations of others - to be as good as her sister - weighs heavily on her heart and mind.

In a world where she's constantly compared to the "light" of her family, Freya must learn to face her own "shadow" and find the courage to shine in her own way. 

Freya and Ezra's bond is her anchor in a storm of anxiety and expectations. He's patient, understanding, and fiercely protective, always ready to catch her when she falls. But when Freya faces a trauma that shakes her trust to the core, their relationship is tested in ways neither of them expected. Together, they must navigate pain, fear, and the fragile path toward healing - discovering what it truly means to stand by someone when the light feels far away.
