Ominis Gaunt has always believed his best friend's sister would never look twice at someone who was blind. But when Anne's life is in danger, he has to stake a claim to what he wants, or watch as the person he cares for most slips right through his fingers. Anne Sallow gets another chance at freedom. A year ago, she was cursed by goblins, making attending Hogwarts next to impossible. But when Ominis, her friend she has secretly fancied for years, paves a way forward, she can't help but take advantage of her new opportunity. But as a danger rears its head, threatening Anne and her brother, Sebastian, Ominis must step up to be the protector he never thought he could be. Or lose everyone he holds dear.
