Summary
“Brilliant,” Sebastian muttered. “We went from enjoying a butterbeer to active espionage in under a minute. That’s got to be a personal record.”
OR:
Eleanor Evans didn’t come to Hogwarts to be special.
She came to make sense of this new world of magic, pass her classes, and maybe feel like she belonged somewhere for once.
Instead, she finds herself navigating ancient magic she doesn’t understand, the agenda of a group of cryptic portraits, a Dark wizard who seems to know more than he’s letting on, and a Slytherin boy whose ambition to save his sister burns just as fiercely as her own.
A slow burn, morally tangled story about ambition, belonging, and the sort of love that asks you, again and again, to choose what you’re willing to sacrifice and who you’re willing to become.
