    Summary

    Some love stories are carved in fire. Others are sworn in blood.

    After the war, Hermione Granger builds her life in silence, mastering potions, hiding pain, and keeping her past where it belongs. But when she’s assigned to a case alongside Draco Malfoy, the man who shouldn’t matter but always did, old grudges spark something neither of them can control.

    What begins as tension becomes obsession. What should have been duty becomes betrayal.

    But this is no simple romance.

    There are oaths still binding. Scars still bleeding. And a child whose legacy may reshape the wizarding world, if it doesn’t destroy them first.

    And when death comes for them again, it will learn:
    Some hearts don’t break. They burn.
