   Summary

   There was no war. No prophecy.
   The Dark Lord and Dark Lady rule the wizarding world with an iron hand.
   Hermione Granger is twenty and returns to Hogwarts for her final year, determined to keep her head down.
   But when the Dark Lady’s gaze lingers too long, and Draco Malfoy, dangerously persuasive, begins to court her, Hermione finds herself drawn into a web she doesn’t understand.

   Secrets are buried. Loyalties are not what they seem.
   And when the balance of power begins to shift, Hermione must decide whether she’s playing the game, or being played.
