    Summary

    The war ended.
    But for some, the darkness never left.
    Three years later, Hermione Granger is one of the Ministry's most brilliant Aurors—
    on paper.
    Behind closed doors, she’s unraveling.
    Trapped in a quiet, poisonous relationship with Ron Weasley, she’s learned how to keep her voice down, her head low, and her pain hidden.
    When a string of ritualistic murders rocks the wizarding elite, Hermione find herself assigned new partners: her old Slytherin companions and, above all, Draco Malfoy.
    Cold. Calculating. Still carrying the weight of a name drenched in blood.
    They hate each other but the case is brutal, relentless, and nothing is as it seems.
    Each clue pulls them deeper into a world built on secrets,
    and closer to the parts of themselves they’ve tried to bury.
    Some truths don’t want to be found.
    And some fires never really go out.
