At Hogwarts, magic is studied, mastered... and sometimes feared. Sixteen-year-old Ella Theodore never imagined she would be at the center of one of the darkest prophecies hidden in the castle's archives-one that calls for the blood of a Muggle-born to unleash an ancient ritual capable of granting a single wish and unimaginable power. Zade Black, heir to a decaying pure-blood line and the nephew of the cursed Sylus Black, has been raised to fulfill his family's legacy: earn Ella's trust, make her fall for him, then deliver her blood to the ritual and resurrect the woman Zade lost. But as study sessions turn into stolen glances and staged affection becomes dangerously real, Zade begins to unravel the truths he was raised on. When dark forces stir in the Forbidden Forest and old family magic claws its way back into Hogwarts, Ella and Zade are thrust into a destiny steeped in betrayal, obsession, and ancient blood. And the prophecy that binds them? It was never meant to end without sacrifice. Destiny , Desire, Deceit
