SS

Twenty-year-old Onyx Vale arrives at Hogwarts as a mysterious new student and shocks the Great Hall when the Sorting Hat screams “SLYTHERIN!” before even touching her head. Beautiful, sharp-tongued, and constantly underestimated, Onyx hides one enormous secret: Vale is her mother’s maiden name, and Severus Snape is her father. While her cousin Rowen helps protect the truth, Draco Malfoy becomes increasingly suspicious of her mysterious past and uncanny similarities to Snape. Meanwhile, Onyx forms an unexpected bond with Cassian Ravenwood, a terrifying-looking 6’6” Ravenclaw who’s actually a gentle marshmallow, and slowly begins falling for him without realizing it. But Onyx’s parentage isn’t her only secret. Magic behaves strangely around her—flames react, plants bloom, shadows move, and Hogwarts itself seems to recognize her. While everyone sees a beautiful little Slytherin with an attitude problem, something powerful is quietly awakening inside her.
