Most believed Nurmengard had fallen silent after the duel that ended Gellert Grindelwald's reign.
The fortress was said to stand empty in the northern mountains, a ruin swallowed by snow and time.
But that was a lie.
Behind its iron gates, the Ministries of Europe buried what they could not destroy.
Grindelwald was not the only one imprisoned there. His most loyal followers, and, in time, their children, were locked away within its enchanted walls, hidden from a world that wanted to forget.
The children of Nurmengard were raised in luxury that felt like exile, taught by tutors, guarded by Aurors, watched through every breath of their lives. They grew up surrounded by whispers of their ancestors' power, their every lesson tainted by history.
To the world, they did not exist.
To each other, they were family.
And to fate, they were a promise waiting to be fulfilled.
When their names are finally revealed, old shadows begin to stir once more. Secrets long buried claw their way back to the surface. The heirs of a forgotten war are thrust into a world that fears what they might become, even as destiny begins to pull them toward one another, and toward the darkness that has never truly died.
Because legacies, like prisons, are not so easily broken.
And in the echoing halls of Nurmengard, silence is never just silence.

📚: Golden Trio Era
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world-
unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year.
Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life.
When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore.
She was in a luxurious mansion.
In a child's body.
The villainess of her favorite game.
Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end:
starvation, betrayal, poison, and death.
Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her,
and her own father would let her die without a tear.
But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess.
Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side,
and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching,
she'll rewrite fate itself.
Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined-
scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers,
and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast.
But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?
