This is the second book of Battle Scars, by @kmbell92. Definitely read that first, and maybe even the main Tightly Knit series beforehand. There is a profile guide book to @kmbell92s books available on her account, if you want to join the Tightly Knit Universe, but if you're just interested in Draco's story, just read Battle Scars first at least. Battle Scars has a few references to Tightly Knit, but other than that you should be able to get through it. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! I am not on a publishing schedule, and am really bad at keeping deadlines, so I apologize for any for impatience caused by this. Rights to characters belong to J.K. Rowling and @kmbell92. This book features content in between the last chapter and the epilogue of Battle Scars.
