Before the Knights of Walpurgis, there were three.
At eleven years old, Aurelia Gaunt arrives at Hogwarts carrying one of the oldest names in the wizarding world, the blood of Salazar Slytherin and secrets buried far deeper than she knows.
Then she meets Tom Riddle.
Brilliant. Ambitious. Dangerous long before anyone has a reason to fear him.
And Rabastan Lestrange, reckless, fiercely loyal and somehow destined to become the third piece of something none of them planned.
At first, they are only three Slytherins breaking rules, exploring forbidden magic and discovering the secrets hidden within Hogwarts.
But eight years can turn friendship into loyalty , curiosity into obsession and children into monsters.
The world will one day remember Tom Riddle. It will remember the Knights of Walpurgis but first, it will know them as something else.
The Dark Golden Trio : Eight years. Three souls. One legacy.
