    Summary

    At an academy for the privileged, where not being a pureblood is practically a crime, Hermione Granger is an outsider surviving on a scholarship and silence.

    Isolated, ignored, and constantly reminded she doesn’t belong, there's a person who pays her a little too much attention: Draco Malfoy. He is everything the school worships: aristocratic, untouchable, and sharp enough to wound without lifting a finger. He targets her with practiced cruelty, relentless and precise. She tells herself it’s only because she doesn’t belong. That he’s just another pureblood prince guarding his throne.

    But his gaze lingers a little too long. And she, despite herself, starts watching back.

    She loathes him. But yet tries to know about the person he is, when no one's watching. And the worst part is, no matter how cruel Draco is… he never quite lets her go.
