Everyone thought the war was over. One year after Harry Potter and Voldemort’s final battle, Morgyn Winters returns to Hogwarts for her eighth year alongside her closest friends—Matheo Riddle, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Lorenzo Berkshire, Theodore Nott, and her best friend Pansy Parkinson. But Morgyn isn’t the same girl who left Hogwarts in seventh year. The war took her family. It took her sister—her best friend, her whole world. Now grief has turned into anger, and anger is becoming something far more dangerous. Morgyn starts skipping classes, disappearing from Hogwarts, studying forbidden magic, and keeping secrets from the people who know her best. Matheo has always understood her better than anyone. He loves her deeply and plans to finally get her to open up about what she’s going through. But neither he nor the others realize the truth. Morgyn isn’t trying to heal. She’s preparing. With ancient power running through her blood and a secret ability to speak Parseltongue, Morgyn is becoming something the wizarding world has never seen before. And the scariest part? Matheo Riddle can speak Parseltongue too. Neither of them knows it yet. The war may be over… But something darker is beginning. And this time, the person everyone will have to fear might be the girl they swore they’d protect.
