After the events of the Chamber of Secrets, Tom Riddle's diary doesn't just crumble into nothing-it resurrects him. But something has gone terribly wrong. Stripped of his memories, his magic weakened, and trapped in a teenage body, Tom finds himself stranded at Hogwarts, surrounded by people who shouldn't even remember he exists. The only one who does? Luna Lovegood.
Strange, dreamy, and dangerously perceptive, Luna seems to see right through him-and worse, she's not afraid. As Tom plots to regain his strength and manipulate those around him, Luna continuously disrupts his plans with cryptic warnings, maddening insight, and a refusal to treat him like the monster he once was.
Meanwhile, the usual players are more flawed than ever: Dumbledore watches with unsettling intent, the Weasleys cling to their illusions, and the Ministry plays its corrupt games. Tom expected obstacles. He didn't expect her.
As the castle begins to turn against him, and Luna draws ever closer, Tom realizes that this second chance might be far more dangerous-and far more transformative-than anything he had planned.
