In the shadowed halls of Hogwarts, a new student arrives-Natalie, a girl gifted with ancient magic that hasn't been seen in centuries. Her arrival sparks whispers, curiosity, and unease, but nothing could prepare the school-or a certain enigmatic student-for the force she carries within her. At just sixteen, Tom Riddle is already charming, cunning, and quietly dangerous. When he crosses paths with Natalie, he senses a power that could shape the future. But a prophecy hangs over her head: "Bound to the Dark Lord, the one who masters death." As secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and dark desires stir, Natalie must navigate a world of hidden magic, manipulation, and the fine line between ally and enemy. Will her ancient gift be the key to defeating darkness-or the very force that binds her to it? Dark. Mysterious. Forbidden. Bound is a spellbinding tale of power, prophecy, and the dangerous allure of destiny.
