He, a double spy, a man as complex as the magic that surrounds him. A Master of Potions and of Dark Arts, and a prisoner of his own past. In the dimly-lit dungeons of Hogwarts, where shadows dance & secrets whisper, stands a man charged with taming the beast hiding within her. His orders, clear. His path, one of no return. And she's the final key to it all. In a world where betrayal & sacrifice twist and turn, a dark tale of deception and desire unfolds under the looming clouds of the wizarding war.
