After a grueling Sixth Year filled with loss and grief, Alora sets off on a mission to enjoy her final summer before graduation for what it is--a chance to be a teenager. She wants to make mistakes that don't hold the fate of the wizarding world as the repercussions. She wants to live. Most of all, she wants to follow Sebastian across the continent as he pursues his new dream of making the starting lineup for the Scottish National Quidditch Team. The typically inseparable duo are now faced with the one thing they've never experienced. Distance. Sebastian is alone with the very real temptations of being a professional athlete, and Alora finally has the freedom she so desired at her fingertips. What can go wrong? ***This story is a sequel to Courting Darkness, and it contains mature themes (drugs, alcohol, sexual/explicit content), more in depth than the prequel due to the aging and development of characters.
