  Summary

  As the last light in the doomed cave faded, the water muffled the screams ripped from the throats of those far too young to fight their parents’ war. On November 2nd, 1979 two bodies were dragged down to the bottom of the lake by creatures born of nightmares, weighed down by plans far too grand for their understanding. The darkness enveloped their bodies, pulling them to their death, where they may lie side by side for eternity.

  Summary

  As the war progresses, Vivienne Selwyn finds herself in a particularly sticky situation, where she must choose between her family’s safety and her own personal allegiance. She knows the choice is easy, blood is thicker than water after all, but as the seams of her past unravel before her eyes, she is forced to face the hurt of lost friendships, broken dreams and unforgivable mistakes.

  Amidst a war, Regulus Black finds himself indulging in what he knows is wrong, digging up memories of the past, picking at old wounds and falling, always falling, for a girl as deep and as dark as the ocean he finds himself drowning in every night.

  Or just two kids fighting in a war that is not their own, forced to make choices no child should ever be faced with (+ my mediocre writing 😔)
