Heir of the Hollow Path

She came from the hills, wrapped in smoke and silence. But the truth in her blood was never meant to stay buried.

After witnessing her mother's brutal death at the hands of Aurors, Nyasha Miriro Riddle is forced to flee her home in the Matobo Hills of Zimbabwe. Taken in by the Malfoys, she enters the cold, unfamiliar world of British wizardry-an outsider among purebloods, a mystery even to herself.

She doesn't know that her father's name is spoken only in fear.

She only knows the symbol that burned across the sky that night.

And the feeling that something ancient and dangerous stirs inside her.

Now, as she transfers into Hogwarts in her fourth year, Nyasha must navigate not only shifting alliances, magical traditions, and the whispers behind her back-but also the truth about who she is, and what she was born to become.

With a protective Draco at her side and a curious, haunted Harry watching from afar, Nyasha begins to carve her place in a world that was never meant to accept her. But darkness follows her like a second shadow.

And not all fire is meant to warm.
