    Summary

    Draco Malfoy was trapped. Marked. Chosen. A task too great, a price too high. The walls were closing in, and no matter which way he turned, there was no escape.

    Hogwarts was the same, yet everything had changed. He had changed.

    He carried the Dark Lord’s will like a chain around his throat, a brand burned into his skin. Failure was not an option. But success? That terrified him more.

    And then—her.

    Granger.

    Always watching. But not with hatred. Not with fear. With curiosity. Pity.

    He couldn’t stand it. He didn’t deserve it.

    He was falling, and no one could catch him.

    Could she? Would he even let her try?
