    Summary

    Hermione Granger loses a bet she never agreed to.

    One disastrous night inside London’s most exclusive magical casino should ruin her life. Instead, it introduces her to the House of Serpents — an empire built on velvet, vice, political corruption, and the terrifyingly devoted men who rule it.

    Draco Malfoy is cold, violent, and impossible to escape once his attention lands on something.

    Theodore Nott is charming enough to make danger feel safe.

    Together, they are the House’s sharpest teeth.

    Hermione should hate them.

    Instead, she finds herself drawn deeper into their glittering world of gala dinners, whispered deals, old-money power, and sins wrapped in silk. As her friendships shift, her ambitions grow sharper, and the wizarding world watches her with increasing fascination, Hermione begins to realize something deeply dangerous:

    The monsters never asked her to become smaller.

    And she may no longer want saving at all.
