The world they knew is gone. The war has begun.
Beatrice Weasley has spent years preparing for this fight, but war is not the battle she imagined-it is slow, merciless, and full of impossible choices. On the run from the Death Eaters, she and Blaise Zabini fight in the shadows, striking where they can, surviving where they must. But as the war drags on, Bea finds herself standing at the edge of something darker than she ever expected.
Cassius Rowle has hunted her since childhood, a ghost from the past determined to finish what he started. And now, he is closer than ever. But Bea is not a scared child anymore-this time, she intends to finish it.
At Hogwarts, Rayne walks the tightrope of survival, pretending to serve Voldemort while secretly sabotaging his forces. Every move is a risk, every mistake a death sentence. Meanwhile, Jonas Rowle watches the war unfold, playing both sides, waiting to decide where his true allegiance lies.
And then there is Draco Malfoy. A ghost of his former self, a boy shaped by regret and choices he never wanted to make. Their paths will cross again, but in a world consumed by war, love and loyalty are more dangerous than ever.
As the Battle of Hogwarts looms, Bea must make a choice: will she become the monster war demands, or will she fight to stay herself? When the final duel comes-when the past and the present collide-will she choose vengeance, or will she break free?
One way or another, this war will end.
But not everyone will make it out alive.
