Where Serpents Learn to Burn

At Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, she is infamous.

Brilliant but volatile. Gifted at spellcraft, terrible at restraint. She experiments with forbidden spell combinations, brews unstable potions just to "see what happens," and once animates an entire corridor of armor as a prank that nearly injures another student.

The staff calls her reckless.
She calls it curiosity.

After an incident involving a wildfire charm that spirals out of control, she is expelled. Officially: endangerment and repeated defiance of magical conduct.

Her guardian, desperate not to let her magic go untrained, pulls strings to have her transferred to Hogwarts.

She expects another bright, friendly school.

She is wrong.

And in the dim green light of the dungeons, where ambition coils like smoke and emotions simmer beneath stone ceilings, Ophelia Blackthorne begins the most dangerous experiment of her life:

Learning control.

Learning power.

And falling for the one man who represents everything she resists.

Follow Ophelia Blackthorne on her journey in hogwarts.
