Two lonely students at Hogwarts—Draco Malfoy and you—meet at the Yule Ball and form a deep, secret bond. Despite coming from rival families and being promised to others, you fall into a forbidden love that becomes your only escape. As war rises, you are forced apart. After a devastating battle and an irreversible act, Draco is sent to Azkaban, and you plan a desperate escape with a faked death. But when the message never reaches him, Draco believes you dead—and risks everything to find you in a world already broken.
