    Summary

    Hermione was a prodigy who trusted logic over instinct. But grief hollowed her out, making her easy to lead—and easier to break.

    In the polished corridors of her first real job, her new boss, Tom, watches her too closely, his kindness edged with something she can’t name.

    As the walls close in, Hermione begins to understand: fear isn’t weakness. It’s the warning she should have listened to all along.

    The Gift of Fear is the last thing she has left.
