    Summary

    Hermione Granger survived two years in enemy hands. Or so she claims. But in a war where minds can be tampered with, survival is no guarantee of freedom. The Order watches her now, suspicion mounting as one question weighs heavier than the rest.

    They say no one escapes the Harrower whole.

    So how did she?

    ***

    “I built my heart out of ice on purpose, Granger. I needed it like that. It’s what kept me alive. How dare you set it on fire. How dare you fucking ruin me.”

    Summary

    “My family was born to rule the Kingdoms of men. I’ve come to claim what is mine by birthright. From their blood, the Queens before me, I am the Prince that was promised.”

    Summary

    On Wednesday, October 15th, at exactly twelve minutes past seven in the evening, Hermione Granger died.

    On that same Wednesday, October 15th, at exactly twelve minutes past seven in the evening, Theodore Nott was pronounced dead after being discovered on the floor of his potions shop.

    Two minutes later, at fourteen minutes past seven, the diagnostic above Hermione Granger’s head detected a heartbeat, while the one above Theodore Nott remained silent.

    So why, when she opened her eyes, did she find him glaring at her? How was she going to get rid of him? And, most curiously of all, how did Draco Malfoy become the only person she trusted to help her figure it out?

    Summary

    Nine years ago, Hermione Granger created a plan to become Minister of Magic by the time she turned 60. As part of that plan she knew she needed a husband and two children to convince the public to support her.

    She is now approaching her thirty-fourth birthday and is still single, though not for lack of trying. She's questioning her dating methodology as friends grow distant, her parents age, her fertile years are peaking, and the professional goals she created at twenty-five are starting to become harder to cling to. She knows she needs something to change, but that's easier said than done when Draco Malfoy won't leave her the fuck alone.

    As for Draco, there's nothing quite as alluring as an angry Hermione Granger, and that's why he's been teasing her for the last ten years. It's only when he comes up with his best idea yet - and gets himself assigned as her security detail for an event that absolutely does not require it - that he starts to peel back the layers and sees her for who she really is. She's more than just a beautiful witch with a fierce temper. She's flawed, lonely, and starting to burn out.

    Draco knows he can help. He just needs to her to say yes first.

    Summary

    Ten years after the war, Hermione Granger is a celebrated hero, a tireless political reformer–but behind closed doors, she's drowning in a Ministry that praises her with one breath and silences her with the next. She's brilliant, respected... and dangerously close to being done playing by their rules.

    Cleared of his war crimes and sharper than ever, Draco Malfoy didn't just survive the fallout–he seized it. The most feared name in Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld, he controls the flow of potions, secrets, and power. And now, he's being ordered to marry the Ministry's Golden Girl.

    Thrown into a marriage neither expected and neither intends to lose, Hermione and Draco must decide whether to rule from the shadows or burn the whole damn system down... together.

    He may be the King of Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld–

    but she is the Queen.

    And may the gods help anyone who disrespects the Queen.
