The Gaunts hold leverage - omniscient of Sebastian's sin. To protect him, she signs her name.

Friendship, family relationships, ancient magic, and electrifying sexual tension. The final year at Hogwarts was supposed to be a year of exams and farewells, but for Lussia it turns into a dangerous game where far more than just her grades is at stake. As she struggles to control the growing ancient magic that is literally beginning to slip through her fingers, her life fractures on multiple fronts: from strained family bonds and the overprotective instincts of her brother Aslan to the exhausting effort to hold on to friends who do not understand the darkness surrounding her. At the center of it all rages a complicated relationship with Sebastian Sallow - a bond that is as destructive as it is irresistible. It is a story of loyalty balanced on the edge of betrayal, of family secrets rising to the surface, and of searching for one's own identity in the ruins of old friendships. As the line between good and evil begins to blur, Lussia must discover who truly stands by her and whether the price of her magical power is too high for her to be willing to pay.

In the dark heart of wizarding aristocracy, love is the cruelest curse of all. Aurelia Black was once the shame of her bloodline-a supposed Squib destined to fade into obscurity. Now, she's the prodigy who saved Hogwarts, cloak in power, poise, and poisonous expectations. Her reward? A betrothal to her former friend turned bitter rival: Ominis Gaunt. Cold, cutting, and hellbent on escaping his family's legacy, Ominis has vowed to disappear after graduation. But when Aurelia discovers his plan, she proposed a dangerous compromise: she'll help him fake his death and disappear from his family for good-if he plays the devoted diance long enough to protect her reputation. What follows is a venom-laced charade of stolen glances and seething hatred, set against a background of opulent galas, glittering lies, and the weight of expectations. Fated to be enemies. Forced to be partners out of necessity. This is not a love story. (Slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, angst, dark wizarding elite, arranged marriage) Told from Aurelia Black's POV

Ten years ago, Sebastian Sallow stopped answering her letters. Sage Lockwood spent years convincing herself she had moved on. When a Ministry investigation forces her back to Hogwarts, she comes face-to-face with the one person she's never managed to leave behind. The boy she once would have followed anywhere is gone. The man standing in front of her now looks at her like no time has passed at all. Ten years of silence should have been enough. It wasn't.
