    Summary

    When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a mandatory Eighth Year, she is grateful for the pause — a chance to recover from the war and the nightmares that still plague her. Determined to find happiness and enjoy her final year, Hermione expects healing to be quiet. But of course it isn’t. This is Hogwarts. A small group of Slytherins approach her in confidence, asking her to help Draco Malfoy before it’s too late. Hermione is forced to make a choice — one that pulls her back into old tensions, dangerous secrets, and the unsettling realization that some of the most brutal battles are fought inside one’s mind.

    Summary

    At the very cusp of a much-longed-for shift in their friendship, Hermione Granger vanished. Draco Malfoy, ever-devoted and painstakingly adept at dismantling mysteries, would spend the next seven years and a day seeking for his disappeared witch.

    And then Hermione—ever-contrary, hauntingly remote, aggravatingly withholding, in possession of disquieting power—ends his hellbent search by storming his study and demanding that he give her access to Malfoy family lore.

    Draco untangling the mystery of Hermione’s disappearance and just-as-maddening return plunges him into a quest that breaks realms, magical jurisdictions, standing warrants, sacred bargains, ancient truces, the demands of space and time—and, rather importantly, his already tenuous grasp on his restraint regarding his long-lost, brilliant, terrifying, distressingly brown-eyed witch. But, then again, Draco prides himself on being highly adaptable.

    If he could not make Hermione stay put, then he would make her keep him.

    Summary

    A dark, devastating tale of salvation and damnation to explain how Nagini came to faithfully serve the darkest wizard of all time after bringing about the fall of his predecessor decades prior.

    A villain origin story chronicling the pair's descent from strangers to a fate worse than death. One where Tom Riddle and Nagini wrought their own destruction, allowing the story of canon Harry Potter to rise from its ashes.

    In canon, after his failed attempt to kill baby Harry Potter left him as a wisp of soul, Tom Riddle fled to the forests of Albania. There he encountered Nagini, a Maledictus whose cursed blood transformed her into a serpent, just as he had been reduced to something less than human.

    But what if that wasn't their first meeting? What if finding the snake-shifter in the same woods Tom found Ravenclaw's Lost Diadem was not fate, but their plan... four decades in the making?

    A love story that was always destined to be a horror story, where devotion itself becomes monstrous, and getting their deepest desires proves to be the ultimate curse.
