When Y/N was six years old, the Ministry locked her away for possessing a terrifying form of magic no one could control. After spending over a decade imprisoned beneath the Ministry, feared more as a weapon than treated as a girl, she is suddenly placed into the custody of Tom Riddle—a cold, brilliant prodigy with enough power to make the wizarding world obey him. Ordered to control her before she becomes dangerous, Tom expects a monster and instead finds someone soft, lonely, and terrified of her own abilities. But as the line between captor and protector begins to blur, the two of them become entangled in something far more dangerous than magic: love.
