Summary
Briar Williams should have known better than to follow Poppy’s Patronus into the Forbidden Forest. What she finds there is a city of shadows—an entire Dark wizard camp hidden beneath layers of glamours, ruled by none other than Sebastian Sallow.
Years ago, she and Ominis Gaunt turned him in for murder. Now, he stands before her, alive and corrupted—his name whispered like a curse, his hands soaked in blood. But rather than killing her, Sebastian spares her life… and locks her in a cage.
As Briar learns to survive among killers, she begins to uncover a different kind of darkness: the one rotting inside Sebastian himself. His body fails him without warning; Yet no one will tell her why. His followers also seem to think they could exploit Briar’s Ancient Magic as a weapon one day.
Meanwhile, Ominis, now the Officer of Hogsmeade, has been convinced by Poppy to rescue Briar—but the more his search unravels, he realizes that Sebastian never made it to Azkaban like they all believed.
Ominis is Briar’s long-time lover and desperately wants to marry her—all while Briar is trapped is with man who’s cruel and mysteriously monstrous.
A dark, trauma-centered enemies-to-lovers fanfic.
