Eden Hart has learned two things since growing up in a wizarding orphanage: stay quiet, and don’t expect anyone to protect you. At Hogwarts, being an orphan only makes her an easier target. She’s too soft, too shy, too easy to hurt — the kind of girl other students shove aside without consequence. And after one particularly cruel night leaves her bruised and bleeding, Eden makes a desperate decision. She goes looking for the boys everyone fears. Mattheo Riddle, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, and Lorenzo Berkshire are infamous around Hogwarts for bloody knuckles, sharp tempers, and trouble that follows them like shadows. They’re cruel, dangerous, untouchable. Which means they probably know how to patch up cuts and bruises. What Eden doesn’t expect is for the terrifying sixth years to let her stay. Or for them to become fiercely protective over the tiny second year with oversized sweaters, trembling hands, and doe eyes too trusting for a castle full of monsters.
