From a young age, strange, inexplicable things occurred around Faye Rivera. Voices in her head, people appearing and vanishing before her eyes, and the list goes on. Visited by the elegant headmistress of Ilvermorny, a school of magic, Faye's exploration of her fantastical abilities are just beginning when she is uprooted from her home to move 'across the pond', now joining her ambitious stepcousin at Hogwarts.
Navigating through her role as a new student in her second year, Faye soon learns that Ilvermorny and Hogwarts have their similarities but are not so different when it comes to pureblood prejudices.
As she deals with her arrogant peers, including a certain blonde who flips from day to day and sometimes minute to minute on whether she's scum, and a professor who seems to despise her for simply breathing, forces, both within and outside the school, conspire to manipulate Faye to her predestined fate, one that links her to a dark past that many wish to forget and a path that could destroy the wizarding world.
Alaia, a kind and intelligent student at Hogwarts, finds herself unexpectedly paired with Draco Malfoy for a year-long Potions project. Initially wary of his cold demeanor and reputation, Alaia slowly begins to see a different side of Draco as they spend more time together. Beneath his guarded exterior, she discovers a boy burdened by his family's expectations and a desire to prove himself. As the months pass, they grow closer, sharing secrets and stolen moments in the library and late-night walks by the Black Lake. Alaia starts to believe that Draco might not be as bad as everyone thinks, and against all odds, she finds herself falling in love with him.
However, their budding romance takes a dark turn when Draco becomes a Death Eater, pressured by his family and the looming threat of Voldemort. Alaia is heartbroken as she watches Draco drift away, consumed by the darkness he has been pulled into. Will Alaia leave him or stand by his side as he falls into this life?
