At twenty-five, Ominis Gaunt has tried desperately to build a life for himself that has very little to do with the family whose name he was born with. Then his parents die. Suddenly, Ominis isn't merely the son who escaped. He is the Gaunt heir—officially, legally, and inconveniently—left with an old name, an older estate, and generations of expectations he wants nothing to do with. Determined to at least change what the name means if he can't escape it, he leans into a career at the Ministry. He quickly earns a reputation as a terrifying but capable agent. He has stopped playing the part of someone who isnt capable, and is fully leaning into the version of himself that keeps others at a safe distance. Letting others be terrified of his eyes- of his cool tone- his sheer capability. Unfortunately for those walls he has, spent so long on building, there is a new hire at the ministry of magic, someone who's footsteps seem.... oddly familiar.
