The war is over, but Hogwarts doesn't feel like home anymore.

Harry is drowning in silence, Ron is clinging to a past that no longer fits, and the rest of the Wizarding world is desperate to move on-as if the blood on their hands can be washed away with indifference. But Hermione can't forget. She can't pretend. And she can't shake the feeling that she's not the same girl who once believed in right and wrong as simple, unshakable truths.

Then there's Ruth. Elusive, untouchable, draped in satin and sin. She moves like a whisper, like a secret Hermione isn't supposed to know. And Theodore Nott. Cold, unreadable, the kind of dangerous that doesn't announce itself-it lingers, watching, waiting, seeing too much.

Between them, Hermione begins to unravel.

She's changed.

And for the first time, she's not sorry.

----

"She didn't want to disappoint anyone who would eventually find out she wasn't the same, kind Hermione Granger. She was a clone that just looked like herself, not acted like it. She didn't want to hurt Ron anymore than she already had."

-----------

Hermione Granger likes girls. Whether she's willing to admit it to herself or not, it's the truth that's been concealed for years. She has every intention of keeping it that way.

Then, Ruth Prunella shows her just how much the truth can set you free...and make you tremble.
