Selene Greaves never expected her life to change so suddenly.
Transferring to Hogwarts in the middle of fifth year, at the same time the great Harry Potter is making headlines, she finds herself caught between awe and fear. Shy, reserved, and far too used to fading into the background, Selene prefers to linger in the shadows, quietly watching the chaos of magic, friendship, and rebellion unfold.
But fate has other plans. Sorted into Slytherin, of all houses, she is thrust into a world of cunning miscreants and charming rogues who thrive where she feels most out of place. Among them is a mischievous, silver-haired boy who seems far too interested in pulling her out of hiding.
Now, Selene must learn what it means to belong, not just to Hogwarts but to herself, while walking the thin line between darkness and light.
