Five years ago, nine-year-old Lilith Nott disappeared from the wizarding world after being declared insane by her pure-blood parents and confined to a magical asylum. Forgotten by nearly everyone—including her older brother, Theodore—Lilith has spent years enduring cruelty, isolation, and abuse behind locked doors. Everything changes when Albus Dumbledore arrives to bring her to Hogwarts for her fourth year. Forced to return to a world that has moved on without her, Lilith must learn who she can trust while confronting the shadows of the past that refuse to stay buried.
