Selene Emrys never asked for the legacy of Merlin-or the deadly curse buried within her research. When her discovery threatens to unravel the magical world, she becomes the target of secret factions, power-hungry elites, and ancient rivalries. To survive, she turns to Draco Malfoy-now a hardened, enigmatic private operative with secrets of his own. What begins as a calculated alliance slowly dissolves into something neither of them expected: a bond forged by blood oaths, betrayal, and burning desire. As enemies close in and fate tightens its grip, Draco and Selene must confront the curse that binds them-and ask themselves what they're willing to sacrifice for each other. In a world where memory can be rewritten, loyalty is currency, and love might just be the deadliest risk of all... who will they become when the past is finally erased?

Chapter with * Contains SMUT. Draco Malfoy is a free man-at least, that's what the Ministry claims. In truth, he's a walking prisoner: monitored, watched, paraded in front of wealthy families desperate to claim the last Malfoy heir. Beautiful, soft-spoken, and dangerous without meaning to be, she sees through him in a way no one else does. She comforts him, challenges him, infuriates him-and hides something he can't quite touch. She was never meant to fall for him. He was never meant to need her. When her connection to a rising rebellion is exposed, Draco must decide whether to let her go... or burn the world that already blames him. A slow-burn, sharp-edged romance about healing, guilt, and the one person who was never supposed to matter.
