Arianna Nott is a gifted, sheltered Slytherin who dreams of greatness-but nothing prepares her for the dark magnetism of Tom Riddle. Drawn into his secret circle, she blossoms under his tutelage, her brilliance and loyalty earning her a place at his side. When a mission goes catastrophically wrong, she finds herself abandoned and imprisoned in Azkaban, her trust shattered.
Freed by a reluctant bargain with Dumbledore, Arianna becomes a covert spy, torn between the boy she once adored and the ideals she once cherished. Caught in a web of betrayal, vengeance, and forbidden passion, she and Tom rebuild their bond in the ruins of their shared past-transforming from star-crossed lovers into unstoppable rulers.
Together they storm the Ministry of Magic, forge a kingdom founded on fear and order, and bind their souls in a Horcrux of their own making. In the end, Arianna's journey from innocent ingénue to Dark Queen proves that love and power can be two sides of the same knife-and that even the brightest heart can be consumed by darkness.
