It is the year 1948, and former Hogwarts graduate and twenty-year-old Tom Riddle runs his secret mission to reshape the Wizarding World as he sees fit, with the help of his loyal Knights of Walpurgis.

But one fateful day, an article in Wizarding paper The Daily Prophet shocks all European witches and wizards alike;

" Gellert Grindelwald, notorious dark wizard and destroyer of peace, breaks out of his cell located in The American Magical Congress.

1935 - Three years after the Supreme Mugwump election held in Bhutan, Albus Dumbledore; Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, vowed to help the Ministries of the Wizarding World succeed in catching Grindelwald once and for all.

1938 - After another three years of searching, the dark wizard was found by Dumbledore and locked away in the most guarded cell MACUSA had to offer, with the approval of our very own Minister; Leonard Spencer-Moon, as well as many others. "

Or at least, that was what the Ministries of the Wizarding World wanted their citizens to believe...

When past members of Grindelwald's disbanded Alliance, along with their families, are found brutally murdered in obscure locations, Tom Riddle forms an unlikely alliance of his own with the leader of an infamous rebel group; The Hellions, and his vengeful foe: Alena Sarbani.

But when he alerts her of the news, he is informed of a much more atrocious fact...

For Gellert Grindelwald was held in his own abandoned Austrian prison, and murdered all those years ago by a broken-hearted Albus Dumbledore.

It has been deemed that there is a murderer on the loose, and whilst the Wizarding World blames the unknowingly late Gellert Grindelwald for the murders of his own fanatics, Alena Sarbani and Tom Riddle are determined to uncover the more rational truth, as well as the Ministry's lies.

In spite of any unforeseen consequences, mayhaps.
