Her mother demands flawlessness, her father expects obedience, and her world has been carefully constructed to ensure she never strays. But beneath the poised exterior, cracks are forming.

When she arrives at Hogwarts, Cecily clings to the rules she was raised with. But as war looms and alliances shift, she begins to unravel. The more time she spends with a reckless Gryffindor and his infuriating friends, the more she realizes she's been living a life that was never truly hers. And the closer she gets to them, the more dangerous it becomes-because Cecily was never meant to be anything other than perfect.
But maybe, just maybe, she was meant to be free.
Some cages aren't built with bars. And some are far harder to escape.
