    Summary

    Laurel is a simple woman—or so she thought.

    As an Akardos, her very existence defies the rules of the magical world: she cannot be touched by magic, cursed, or controlled. When she takes a job as a nursing assistant at a rundown care home, she strikes up an unlikely connection with one of the residents: Tobias Snape, bitter, reclusive, and father to a man the world calls both traitor and murderer.

    When a Death Eater attack forces Severus Snape to take drastic measures, Laurel finds herself kidnapped and hidden inside Malfoy Manor, held prisoner by the man she only knows through stories.

    But the truth is more complex.
    So is he.

    As war rages on beyond the gates, a dangerous bond forms between captor and captive. One forged in silence, sharpened by trauma, and twisted by desire.

    She’s immune to magic.
    But not to him.
