hard times

"I was too young to notice that some types of love could be bad."

-----------oOo-----------

When Reyna Whitmore disappears from a London orphanage as a child, no one suspects that this very moment leaves behind a boy who has never learnt to truly hold on to anything or anyone. Whilst Reyna grows up in Norway under close scrutiny of her magic, Tom Riddle lives a life of scorn and oppression.
Two opposites who could not have been more alike.
Years later, Albus Dumbledore summons Reyna back to England. As Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Reyna enters a world she once left behind and encounters a young man whose rise to power both fascinates and unsettles her.
As the lines between control and obsession blur, Reyna is forced to decide how far she can peer into the darkness without being swallowed up by it herself.
