Elara Greystone had three rules: never get outsmarted, never lose a duel, and never - under any circumstances - fall for her brother's best friend. Adrian Blackthorne had always been infuriating: smug in every Quidditch win, quick with cutting remarks, and always, somehow, in her space.
But when a strange magical disturbance begins to ripple through the castle - spells misfiring, ancient portraits whispering warnings - the two are forced to work together, trailing clues through candlelit corridors, the Restricted Section of the library, and even the shadowed towers where students aren't meant to tread.
The more they unravel the mystery, the more Elara realises that hatred and attraction aren't as far apart as she thought. And maybe the real danger isn't the magic haunting Hogwarts... but the boy she swore she would never want.
