Power is inherited. Reputation is everything. Love is a weakness. Lavinia Selwyn was born into one of Britain's oldest pure-blood families and raised to uphold everything the Selwyn name stands for. Among the Sacred Twenty-Eight, reputation is everything, power is inherited, and love is seen as nothing more than a weakness. Draco Malfoy was raised the same way. Having known each other since childhood, Lavinia and Draco's relationship has always been defined by rivalry, pride, and the expectations of their families. Friendship was never expected, and neither of them ever questioned the lives they had been taught to live. Until Hogwarts. As their first year begins, new friendships, unfamiliar experiences, and life beyond their families' influence begin to challenge everything they once believed. What starts as rivalry slowly becomes understanding, and something neither of them ever expected begins to grow. In a world where blood determines your worth and family decides your future, Lavinia and Draco must decide whether to follow the paths chosen for them--or create their own.
