Draco is lost and scared after the war. Will he survive in a world where people know him as a traitor who avoided punishment. The short answer is no. Not alone anyway.
After the war, Draco Malfoy is a shell of the boy he once was-monitored by the Ministry, shunned by wizarding society, and mourning a mother who sacrificed everything to save him.
Lydia Ollivander never forgave the Malfoys for her mother's death. Raised by her grandfather after the war, she's spent her life mastering the delicate magic of memory and truth-determined never to be deceived again.
But when fate, and a mysterious magical bond, keep drawing them together, old wounds resurface, secrets unravel, and the line between hate and something much more dangerous begins to blur.
As Draco is framed for a new uprising and Lydia becomes his unexpected ally, both must choose: cling to the past, or risk everything for a future neither of them ever imagined.
