The Empire of Ravens & Snakes

"In the whispers of tragedy's wake, sings a raven in their mother born tongue. The key to the end now beats within their cage, a silent guardian to sleeping heartbreak and rage."

Sebastian Sallow, the boy with a heart locked in iron, had never fallen in love. Even now in his Seventh Year, he had continued to safeguard what left he had of his heart.

But in the final sorting ceremony of his final year, the Slytherin boy's attention is captivated by a raven of foreign tongue - the mysterious new seventh year, Josephine Montgomery.

Her enigmatic presence and striking beauty stir something deep within Sebastian, igniting emotions he had long since suppressed.

But their year would not be one of solace or tranquility, soon they would come to know the blood that would stain their young hands.

And all this blood does not wash off in the sink.
