    Summary

    Leaning heavily against a bale of stiff hay, Yennefer let her eyes drift shut. A small, weary smile played at the edges of her chapped lips. Time was up.

    Summary

    Petals descending from the ceiling. Yennefer knew right away it was Tissaia, from way above up in her study, honoring her fallen girls. She looked at them, admired how they fell silently to cover the freshly dug graves.

    Then the pain came.

    Sharp, burning, unexpected.

    Yennefer gasped.

    Summary

    A dark, redemptive NSFW romance in the mist-wreathed Highlands of wartime Scotland.

    In Glencoe, Bellatrix Lestrange—Voldemort’s blade, her soul chained by a cursed locket—seizes Hermione Granger. What begins as cruelty in the damp dungeons of a remote Moidart manor becomes an obsession neither can escape. Bellatrix is no mere villain: beneath the madness lies a woman hollowed by childhood rites, a brutal marriage, and a blood-bound curse that punishes every flicker of doubt. Hermione is terrified—dreading the secrets she might betray under pain—but she sees the cracks: the woman behind the monster.

    In a slow, aching dance of power and surrender, torture yields to whispered truths, hatred to longing. As the war develops—kelpie-haunted lochs, Cailleach’s winter wrath —Bellatrix must choose: remain the Dark Lord’s shadowed weapon or risk everything to break the curse and claim the mercy she never dared hope for.

    A forbidden love born from darkness, where purity’s chains shatter under the weight of tears, and even the most broken heart can be redeemed—if it dares to feel again.

    Where winter’s curse meets spring’s defiant grace.
    Where love is the only spell stronger than hate.

    Summary

    Three years after the war, Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts to finish her final year of school. Haunted by inner demons and a scar she cannot get rid of, she tries her best to overcome the terror and fear inflicted by the darkest of witches.
    But when she discovers Bellatrix alive, unaged and installed as the new Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor, the burn of the scar becomes something far more dangerous.

    Bellatrix carries a secret steeped in darkness, one that ties her to Hermione in ways neither of them could ever have imagined, yet both of them come to crave.

    When old hatred begins to twist into forbidden want, old wounds reopen into something hungrier, a desire that coils between them. Raw, reckless and all consuming.

    The truth Bellatrix tries to hide threatens to swallow Hermione whole and when darkness finally closes in, it doesn't whisper

    It devours
