Loss is an undeniable force, and Alexis Myers has borne more than her share. After witnessing her best friend's tragic death and spending a year in a coma, she wakes to find a world irreparably shattered, with her parents sending her to Hogwarts to live with her cousin, though they refuse to explain why. At the legendary school, Alexis quickly realizes that her cousin and his friends know far more about her past than she does, and their silence is suffocating. But it's Draco Malfoy, her cousin's best friend, who draws her in the most-his presence both magnetic and distant, as if nothing has changed between them. Yet something about him feels off, and Alexis can't shake the feeling that he's hiding the truth. As she uncovers the dark secrets surrounding her best friend's family, she finds herself pulled into a dangerous web of betrayal and magic, with Draco at its center, his secrets entwined with hers in a way that both terrifies and fascinates her. And as the truth surfaces, Alexis must face a terrifying question: is Draco's connection to her fate, or a danger that could undo everything she thought she knew?
