"You planted flowers in my lungs and even though they're beautiful, I can't breathe."

As Grindelwald's shadow slowly consumed Europe, darkness was edging its way into the forests of Finland. Deep in the heart of these woodlands, the native magicians practised ancient magic long forgotten by the outside, concealed and unaware of the bloodshed which ravaged the world around them. In 1943, Inkeri Koskinen was uprooted from her habit of obscurity, when she was sent to Scotland to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Struggling to keep her identity hidden, she was faced with the charming Tom Riddle, who would stop at nothing to corrupt her thoughts with his manipulative promises. Visions began to plague her every waking moment, as she slowly uncovered the lies and deceit which surrounded her new world, all while being tormented by the wars which raged outside the walls of the castle.

I will carve out your bloody heart and I will laugh at the heavens while doing so." "Stab me, Witchling. My heart is already your treacherous prisoner. I am nothing if not a captive in your cruel hands, thus it will make no difference if you plunge your dagger into my chest and wrench out my heart, Qadir." *** When Tom Riddle, the son of a Vampire Hunter, unexpectedly enters the masquerade realm of the heretical, he finds his destiny entangled with the Blood Witch after they try to kill each other. The Hunter and the Witchling join together in an on-and-off game of chess, playing a morbid game of their design. As Vampire Coven attacks become more detrimental, Anya starts to descend down a path of madness and sin. She turns to the embrace of darkness, confiding in a demonic knight named Mordred. She ends up with a twisted deal, finding that she must give up her sympathy and kill the one she loves most. What happens when she deliberately falls for Tom Riddle, her enemy, in order to kill him? Dumbledore and the Ministry will go as far as necessary to stop the ancient darkness she threatens to resurrect, and Anya Qadir will do anything for retribution. Even if it means consuming Amortentia, selling her sympathetic soul, or pushing herself to the brink of madness until she is confined in the walls of an asylum.
