In 1990, Hogwarts welcomes a new first-year with a name steeped in history - and secrets that may shape its future. Aurelia Black has always walked in shadows she doesn't entirely understand. Descended from one of wizarding Britain's most notorious pure-blood families, she arrives at Hogwarts determined to make her own mark. But when a strange silver compass falls into her hands, she and two unlikely allies are drawn into a dangerous mystery hidden deep in the Scottish mountains. As she deciphers cryptic symbols, faces dangerous magical creatures, and evade the suspicions of professors and rivals alike, Aurelia must decide who she can trust - and how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth. Because what lies behind the iron door isn't just a forgotten relic of magic... it's a secret tied to the darkness rising beyond the castle walls.
