She was Ravenclaw's golden girl. He was the Dark Lord's son. In the winter of their sixth year, Delilah Vale and Mattheo Riddle find themselves entangled in a secret plan - one that could unravel the war from within. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they agree to betray the bloodlines that raised them, and each other, in order to bring Voldemort to his knees. As snow falls softly over the castle grounds, Hogwarts becomes a quiet battlefield of glances, lies, and burning letters. Behind every whispered spell and shadowed corridor, they are watched - by enemies, by fate, and by the ghosts of who they used to be. But in the space between love and treason, something softer begins to bloom. Something neither of them expected. And as the war draws closer, so does the final choice: loyalty or love, legacy or freedom. Because every swan sings once. And this is theirs. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tale of forbidden magic, fractured bloodlines, and the kind of love that could bring an empire to its knees. Disclaimer: I do not own any characters apart from Delilah Vale, Evangeline Vale, Alaric Vale, Seraphine Montrose and Claribel Fairchild.

Aurora never planned to fall in love with Mattheo Riddle or to find out he would be dead in less than a year. A magical bracelet pulls her between 2045 and 1996, where every jump leaves her more tangled in forbidden romance, dangerous secrets, and a war between brothers... one of whom will become Voldemort. Time is running out, and the closer she gets to saving Mattheo, the faster the clock ticks toward the day history says he dies.

Estelia Fallon is reckless, rebellious, and completely unimpressed by Mattheo Riddle, the son of the Dark Lord, feared by everyone but her. He thinks she's an infuriating pain in his ass, and she sees him as an arrogant dickhead with an overinflated ego. So when they're forced into an arranged marriage, it's war. Insults fly, tensions rise, and neither of them is willing to back down. But as they navigate a world of enemies, dark secrets, and unexpected alliances, their hatred starts to shift into something far more dangerous. Because the only thing worse than being trapped in a marriage they never wanted... is realizing they might not hate it as much as they thought. #1 in Mattheo 23/9/25
