In their 6th year at Hogwarts, the Knights of Walpurgis are a tight-knit, dangerous group of Slytherins, bound by ambition, loyalty, and the growing darkness of the wizarding world. Among them is Tom Riddle, the charismatic and calculating leader, whose obsession with power is only rivaled by his need to control everything around him.
When Cordelia, a brilliant, sarcastic Ravenclaw Prefect, catches their attention, everything changes. Initially dismissed as just another clever student, Cordelia finds herself entangled with Tom and the Knights in ways she never expected. Unraveling the truth about Tom's dark past and the secrets he's desperately trying to hide, Cordelia's moral compass and sharp intellect set her on a dangerous path-a path that will force her to confront not just Tom's monstrous ambitions, but her own heart.
As Tom's obsession with Cordelia grows, so does his influence over her. Torn between her growing feelings for him and the horrifying truth about his involvement in Myrtle's death, Cordelia is thrust into a slow-burning game of manipulation, loyalty, and power.
"You're very charming. Not just charming, but beautiful in the sense that the world could almost pardon you for your sins."
