Clara Elmore was fifteen when she saved the wizarding world. The Hero of Hogwarts they'd called her. But could she truly be called a hero if she was the villain in the stories of so many others? Was it truly victory if blood lingered under her fingernails from the mountain of corpses she'd crawled over to obtain it? Was it truly victory If Anne was still dying? If Ominis still lived under the shadow of his family? If Sebastian had vanished almost without a trace and left everything that had sparked between them behind? Two years later; dark forces begin to stir in the shadows, nightmares prove frighteningly real, and memories are not what they seem. Victory may not have been what she thought and The Repository may have only been the beginning. ******** * This writing thing? It's new. Very new and exciting and mostly scary.
