Summary
1. Condition in which a system disrupts its own balance to purge a disease. 2. A state of intense exhilaration; a desperate desire burning from the inside out.
Years spent as a soldier in the battle for the future of the Wizarding World have left Hermione Granger with scars no spell could heal. For over a decade, she has managed to contain the fever those wounds inflicted, but in the face of a marriage proposal, the yearning for release becomes unbearable. Drawn to an exclusive club devoted to anonymous encounters, the so-called Golden Girl is paired with a witch as alluring as she is intellectually fascinating. After finally being able to purge her pain, she discovers, too late, that the woman who’d brought her to her knees is none other than Lady Narcissa of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. Now, as she tries to maintain the illusion of control over her life, the same lips that drove her to the edge return bearing a secret that could unravel the Statute of Secrecy and plunge magical society into political chaos. In a fragile post-war order sustained by compromise and suspicion, Granger must weigh the cost of truth and commit to a reckoning that blurs the lines between duty, desire, and dissent.
