When Arabelle gets curious and sneaks into a forbidden area of the castle, she discovers a deadly secret: her bloodline is sacred, dating back to a legend surrounded by the one thing she knows not to be true. Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew. After making some unlikely allies, Arabelle sets off on a journey to find the legend of the last dragon egg. Fate has something big in store for her; will she be able to withstand the pressure of it all?There is one thing Arabelle needs to learn to survive this new place...

After the nightmare start to the summer where she was imprinted with the Dark Mark by Voldemort himself, Juliet Weasley is certain that her life is over. Her family refuse to believe her story about how she was forced to take the mark, and having not seen her boyfriend Draco Malfoy for almost 3 months, Juliet is convinced that Draco is dead. But when she returns to Hogwarts for her 6th year, she's amazed to find her boyfriend alive and ready to pick up things where they left off. But Draco's changed over the summer too - he's darker, more mysterious and with a secret that he's unwilling to tell his girlfriend about, despite the fact that they've both been to hell and back together and now share a terrible mark. When Juliet finally learns the truth, can she stop Draco before it's too late, whilst winning back the trust of her family and trying not to submit to the dark urges that come with her new mark? The stakes are higher than ever before, and if Juliet fails, more than one will die...

When Juliet Weasley tells people who her parents are, they can hardly believe their ears. All of the Weasley's have red hair, freckles, and belong to Gryffindor House, right? Wrong. When Juliet was sorted into Slytherin in her first year at Hogwarts, her parents practically disowned her, her twin brother Ron and the rest of her siblings refused to acknowledge her presence when in public. Because of this, Juliet swore that she would succeed in everything she did and prove her worth to them. 5 years on, Juliet is the top of her class and adored by her Slytherin classmates. Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch Team and protégée of Severus Snape, it appears that Slytherin House has found a new star. However when handsome yet notorious bad boy Draco Malfoy comes into the picture, Juliet can't help but fall for him. With the guilt of her secret relationship and the secret that she's keeping from Draco and the rest of Slytherin - her membership in Dumbledore's Army, - Juliet's dancing on thin ice, and with the smallest crack, her world could come tumbling down.
