ALIGNMENT//Book One:Hogwarts

Nathalie Valcázar never asked for Ancient Magic to awaken within her.

After arriving at Hogwarts, she discovers the power running through her blood is older, stranger, and far less understood than the Keepers ever admitted.

What begins as another year becomes something far more dangerous. Forbidden research. Forgotten magic. A mysterious mark no Keeper can explain. And the growing fear that Nathalie's Ancient Magic may be connected to something none of them understand.

Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt stand with her, bound to her in very different ways.

Sebastian is brilliant, fiercely loyal, and determined never to be powerless again-even when the answers come with a price.

Ominis knows better than most what Dark Magic can cost, and may be the first to realize their search is beginning to cross dangerous lines.

Quiet summers away from Hogwarts, forbidden corridors, dangerous discoveries, jealousy, friendship, and first love-feelings none of them knew how to name-forge the three of them into something inseparable.

But Ancient Magic has never been only a gift.

Nathalie is beginning to wonder whether waking it also woke something else.

Something ancient.

Something waiting.

Something that remembers her.
