    Summary

    Seven years after the war, Harry Potter is the Ministry’s golden boy—the youngest Head Auror in history, tethered to a desk and a world that won't stay fixed. He finds peace in a curated lie: the belief that Draco Malfoy was exiled to a quiet, sun-drenched life in France. It’s a fiction that allows Harry to nurse a decade-long obsession in secret, spinning a globe to a coastline he thinks Draco calls home.

    But a broken heirloom in an evidence locker and a redacted file in the Archives shatter the glass.

    Draco didn't go to France. He never left.

    Deep beneath the North Sea, in a sub-basement the world was told was empty, the Malfoy heir is being systematically unmade by the very monsters Harry fought to banish. Now, Harry will have to decide what he’s willing to burn down to rescue a man who no longer remembers his own name.
