Before he was the Dark Lord, Tom Riddle was a brilliant, enigmatic student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But behind his charm and academic brilliance lay a heart consumed by ambition and a dangerous obsession.
Evangeline Hartwell, a Gryffindor with a fierce intellect and a defiant spirit, catches Tom's attention during their first year. Her refusal to bow to his charm or intimidation intrigues him, sparking an obsession that grows as they age. Where others see a prodigy, she sees a boy hungry for power, willing to sacrifice anything, and anyone, to achieve his goals.
As Tom rises to prominence, Evangeline becomes an unwilling focal point of his plans. He envisions her as his equal, his queen, and the mother of his heirs, bound to him not by love, but by destiny. Evangeline, however, has her own ambitions and a determination not to be controlled.
Their paths intertwine in a dangerous game of manipulation and defiance, with Evangeline navigating the fine line between resisting Tom's dark pull and surviving his wrath. As he descends into the shadows, she must decide wether to stand against him or risk being consumed by the darkness herself.
In a world where the line between love and obsession blurs, "Shadows of Obsession" explores how one woman's choices could shape, or shatter, the future of the Wizarding World.
