Tom Riddle - Light in Darkness

"If he were capable of love, it wouldn't be love at all. It would be ownership. Obsession. Possession."

At first glance, Elizabeth Mason is everything Tom Riddle is not-warm-hearted, curious, and full of light. But beneath her gentle smile lies a sharp mind, extraordinary magic, and a dangerous fascination with the quiet, unreadable boy who has occupied her thoughts since their first year at Hogwarts.

For years, they've existed in each other's orbit. Friends, rivals, something in between.

Now in their sixth year, both Slytherin prefects, the connection between them has become impossible to ignore-magnetic, consuming, and increasingly dangerous. Elizabeth sees glimpses of something dark beneath Tom's perfect composure, but she cannot bring herself to look away. And Tom, despite every instinct telling him not to, finds himself drawn to the one person he cannot fully control.

Then there is Abraxas Malfoy.

Wealthy, intelligent and far more perceptive than people give him credit for, Abraxas has spent years watching Tom Riddle from the shadows. He knows ambition when he sees it. But he also sees beauty, Elizabeth's beauty that completely consumes him. And as Elizabeth becomes entangled in Tom's world, Abraxas begins to realize that she may be walking toward a darkness she doesn't understand.

Caught between Tom's intoxicating pull and Abraxas's pure love, Elizabeth must decide who to trust-before the choice is taken from her entirely.

Because Tom Riddle does not love. He covets. And once he decides something belongs to him, he rarely lets it go.

A realistic Tom Riddle fanfiction exploring obsession, manipulation, ambition, and the rise of one of the most dangerous wizards in history-with Abraxas Malfoy standing at the center of a battle of the only woman he ever loved.
