The Space Between Stars | James Potter

Adhara Black has mastered the art of survival. As the twin sister of the disowned Sirius Black, her strategy is simple: project flawless Slytherin perfection, protect her younger brother Regulus from the family's wrath, and never let the cracks show. But survival comes with a devastating price.

With the First Wizarding War bleeding into the walls of Hogwarts, her parents have sealed her fate. By the end of her seventh year, she will be forced to marry Rabastan Lestrange, a dark wizard already rising in the Dark Lord's ranks. Adhara has ten months of freedom left. Ten months before the cage permanently locks.

James Potter doesn't care about pureblood contracts. For years, the bright, arrogant Gryffindor has harbored a desperate, entirely unrequited devotion for the one girl in the castle he isn't supposed to look at-his best friend's twin sister. To the rest of the world, James is the Head Boy, and Adhara is the untouchable Slytherin ice queen. But in the hidden corridors, abandoned astronomy towers, and locked compartments of Hogwarts, James is a fire keeping Adhara from freezing to death.

As the clock ticks down to a July wedding she cannot escape, James makes a silent, unbreakable vow: he will tear the wizarding world apart before he lets a Lestrange put a ring on her finger. But in a war that demands everything, saving the girl in the shadows might cost him his life.
