When sixteen-year-old orphan Caroline Clark leaves behind a life of scrubbing laundry in the Muggle world for Hogwarts, all she wants is to finally belong. But on her journey to the Sorting Ceremony, she discovers she can wield ancient magic, a rare and dangerous power hidden from wizardkind.
At Hogwarts, she quickly befriends Sebastian Sallow, a brilliant, reckless wizard determined to save his cursed sister, Anne. As their paths collide, Caroline realizes Sebastian is connected to her newfound ability in ways neither of them expected, drawing them into a web of poachers, criminal gangs, and a powerful goblin desperate for control.
Bound by secrets, forbidden magic, and an emotion neither of them is ready to face, their fates begin to intertwine. How far will they go for the people they love, and what will it cost them?
