Everyone in the wizarding world knew of the sinister and wicked school named Baxtart's School for the Independent Wizard and Witch. Everyone knew what evil brewed within its walls. When this fear mongering school in the United States was finally shut down, former student, Elizabeth Maryn's parents decide to send her off to Scotland to go to an older school by the name of Hogwarts. When she attends, it is all much more than she had expected. There she meets a strange, mysterious boy that takes an interest in her malevolent past. Will she reveal her dark secrets to him or will she heed the advice of her own conscience and stay away?

Eleanor Parkinson returns to Hogwarts for her sixth year, challenged with a vulnerability she needs to prove wrong and a new authority she needs to establish. That's easy. However, this year she's challenged something else: Tom Riddle who clearly isn't an open book. Eleanor accepts that challenge and when the silence between them after years of a seemingly calm competition is broken, she begins to crave another side of him that no one has ever seen. But when secrets from her family are revealed and she is faced with many difficulties that require her full attention, Eleanor realizes Tom is a distraction that's caused her life to meet a point where she has a dangerous choice to make: She can choose him, herself, or take the risk of changing him through her own journey of saving herself at the same time. But either way, neither path will lead her to anything more than a grim ending.

When Evelyn returned for her Fifth Year at Hogwarts, she expected everything to be the same. But when Dumbledore gives her a task to infiltrate Tom Riddle's gang, to steer him from his current path, she finds herself drowning in dark magic, surrounded by a boy with a constant masquerade. ---- Unravelled is the sequel to this book and is currently up on my profile.
