Tom Riddle is power incarnate.
Rising through the ranks of the Ministry, he is a man whose mere presence demands attention. He is cunning, ruthless, and dangerously intelligent. But for all his influence, Tom Riddle has never met someone he couldn't control-until Cassiopeia Malfoy.
She is the first female Malfoy born in centuries, a cherished and protected legacy of the family. Lucius and Narcissa adore her, ensuring she is raised not just as a Malfoy, but as a leader in her own right.
Her brilliance matches her beauty, and the Wizarding World bends around her with ease. She is the woman every man wants but no one dares to claim. And when Tom Riddle, the most dangerous mind of their era, turns his attention toward her, the real game begins.
But Cassiopeia is not alone in this world of politics and power.
Draco Malfoy, her fiercely loyal elder brother, is neither jealous nor resentful of her presence. He is her shield and her sword, ensuring she always has a strong ally within the family. Working with Lucius, Draco takes on the role of protector-not because she is weak, but because she is too valuable to be left unguarded.
But what happens when Tom Riddle-the man they all fear-becomes the only person she truly sees as an equal?
❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
