The world is changing. The Dark Lord is stirring once more, and whispers of war spread through the shadows. For Desdemona "Mona" Malfoy, life has never been simple-born a Malfoy, cursed as a werewolf, and now walking a dangerous line between light and dark.
After surviving her first year at Hogwarts and earning the trust of unlikely friends, Mona steps into her second year with secrets bigger than anyone could imagine. The Quidditch World Cup, the Dark Mark in the sky, and the arrival of the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts pull her into a game far more dangerous than childhood rivalries.
But Mona has a plan. To the Death Eaters, she will play the perfect daughter of Malfoy, willing to take up her place among them. To Dumbledore, she will be a spy, weaving lies and truths together to uncover Voldemort's rise. Every step places her deeper into danger-and every secret she keeps pulls her further from the family that once turned away from her.
When her path collides with Harry Potter's once more, alliances are tested, friendships deepen, and destinies entwine. From stolen whispers in the dark to standing face-to-face with dragons, Mona must use her wits, her curse, and her courage to survive the Tournament-and the prophecy that binds her to it.
But how long can she balance loyalty and deception before someone uncovers the truth?
And when the time comes to choose, will she side with blood, with destiny... or with her own heart?
