Hogwarts was built on four great houses. That was the truth everyone believed. But the castle held secrets-ones buried so deep that even the Sorting Hat had forgotten them.
Until now.
When eight students arrive at Hogwarts, something shifts. The Sorting Hat hesitates, the torches flicker, and for a moment, a crest no one recognizes appears on the Great Hall's walls. A fifth house-one that was never meant to return-begins to awaken.
Vaelthorn.
Erased from history, forgotten by magic itself, Vaelthorn was not destroyed-it was hidden. But as the past unravels, dark forces rise, determined to keep the truth buried. The students must uncover the secrets of their house before they become its next victims.
