The Thorned Womb
cupldsvz_
Born into silence and legacy, Rose Grindelwald knows only the cold echo of her family's ruined fortress and the weight of a father whose name is whispered in fear across the wizarding world. Her childhood was carved from shadow and expectation, every step measured, every smile forbidden, every heartbeat a reminder that blood can be both gift and curse.
Across the sea, Tibburus Nott inherited an equally chilling legacy. Heir to one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, his life was shaped by duty, discipline, and a father whose love was as sharp as it was distant. Every choice he made was scrutinized, every emotion tempered, until he became a figure of cold precision, a mirror, in some ways, to Rose's own hardened world.
At Hogwarts, two heirs to shadowed legacies collide. Drawn together by loneliness, bound by duty, and united in the quiet ache of unspoken understanding, they find in each other a fragile solace. But even the closest bonds are tested when whispers of a forgotten relic, the fabled Eye of Orrellis, begin to stir.
Rose is pulled deeper into a world of ambition, peril, and desire, where loyalty clashes with longing, and the darkness within herself threatens to consume all she holds dear. Tibburus must navigate his own legacy and the fragile connection that binds them, knowing that every choice carries consequences that echo far beyond the walls of Hogwarts.
Dark, lyrical, and tragic, The Thorned Womb is a story of love poisoned by legacy, of loyalty tested by destiny, and of how even the strongest bonds can fracture under the shadow of power. It is a tale of hearts entwined yet broken, of passion forged in silence, and of the perilous cost of ambition when it consumes all that we hold dear.
