Rosalie Potter, Harry Potter's twin sister and a Slytherin, begins her fifth year at Hogwarts, but nothing feels the same.
For years, she and Mattheo Riddle, the Dark Lord's son, have been rivals but as secrets unravel, their dynamic shifts in unexpected ways.
With Voldemort's return looming and the Ministry in denial, tensions rise.
When Rose uncovers more about her dangerous magical ability, she realises it may be key to the coming war-if she can survive the lies, loyalties, and her growing connection to the boy she vowed to hate.
In the end, the thorns may cut too deep, but the truth might be the only thing that sets them free.
TROPES: enemies to lovers, she fell first but he fell harder, forbidden love, secret dating, and forced proximity
"I was adored without asking for it. He was feared without trying. Everyone saw the darkness in Mattheo Riddle - except me. Everyone saw the light in me - except him."
