At Hogwarts, Professor Eliza Riddle carries a name steeped in legend-and darkness. Once bound by love to the boy who would become Lord Voldemort, Eliza has spent years hiding her past behind quiet lessons and watchful eyes. But when her students begin to ask questions-especially a curious fifth-year named Harry Potter-Eliza's carefully guarded secrets start to unravel.
As whispers of Voldemort's return stir fear across the wizarding world, Eliza is drawn back into the shadows she left behind. Old alliances are rekindled, the Knights of Riddle gather once more, and the castle prepares for war. Caught between duty and desire, between the students she's sworn to protect and the man who once held her heart, Eliza must make an impossible choice.
In the final battle, where love and loyalty are tested and the fate of magic hangs in the balance, Eliza discovers that even the darkest soul may carry a flicker of light-and sometimes, the greatest weapon isn't power, but love.
Hauntingly romantic and rich with lore, this is the untold story of the woman who loved Tom Riddle-and what happened when he loved her back.
