Rose Selwyn is terrified for her life, and everyone around her's. In a world ravaged by war, she finds that she is the only one who can see through the boy who built up walls of callous remarks and cruel taunts. Regulus Black was raised to hate mudbloods, blood traitors and muggles, but finds himself intoxicated by a girl with hair the colour of sunlight, who can see the light when confronted with only darkness. Surrounded by the chaos, destruction and fear that only Lord Voldemort's reign of terror can bring, they do what nobody expects them to. They fall in love. And for that, they must face the consequences.
