Elizabeth "Liz" Ann Ellis has always been a troublemaker, someone who thrives on pushing limits and defying expectations. After a reckless stunt at Ilvermorny leads to her expulsion, Liz is unexpectedly invited by Albus Dumbledore to attend Hogwarts, where she is sorted into Slytherin-a house that both confuses and isolates her. As a Muggle-born in a house that values blood purity above all else, Liz faces constant hostility and finds herself at odds with Hermione Granger. Their rivalry is fierce and unrelenting, but as time passes, their connection begins to shift into something far more complex-something Liz never saw coming.

However, something is off. Professors watch her too closely, their gazes heavy with unreadable intent. At first, Liz brushes it off, but as the stares persist, she begins to feel increasingly self-conscious. Even the very walls of Hogwarts seem to hum with a strange familiarity, as if the castle itself knows her in ways she can't understand. The more Liz delves into the mysteries of her past, the more unsettling truths begin to surface. Pieces of her family's history don't add up-hidden gaps, cryptic half-truths, and a persistent feeling that the life she's known is not the one she was meant to have.

As the shadows of war begin to stretch across the wizarding world, Liz finds herself torn between the life she thought she knew and the dark legacy that has quietly followed her. Because some secrets, no matter how deeply buried, always find a way to surface. And once they are uncovered, they cannot be undone.

In Veil of Shadows, Liz is about to discover that the past is never truly gone-and some bloodlines are impossible to outrun.
