Bound by darkness

In the shadows of Hogwarts, passion tastes sweeter when it's forbidden.

Mattheo Riddle has been a name whispered through the halls of Hogwarts since his first day - son of Voldemort, Slytherin royalty, and already marked for a future drenched in blood. The Death Eaters watch him closely, expecting greatness. Expecting cruelty.

Aria Black, Gryffindor's defiant spark, knows better than to get close to him. Her father, Sirius Black, made enemies of men like Mattheo's bloodline - and Aria has spent her life vowing to never be pulled into the darkness.

But when a dangerous mission inside Hogwarts forces their paths to intertwine, the hatred between them crackles with something hotter, something reckless and raw. In the stolen hours between loyalty and betrayal, between late-night encounters and lingering touches, a forbidden desire begins to take hold.

Mattheo is everything she should run from. Aria is everything he was taught to destroy. Yet neither can resist the pull - even as the shadows of Death Eaters close in around them, and Hogwarts itself begins to tremble under the weight of their secret.

Warnings: Heavy enemies-to-lovers tension, Death Eater intrigue, slow-burn passion, morally gray characters, and emotionally intense, mature themes.
