Taylor Nott is everything people at Hogwarts think they understand—and everything they completely misunderstand. A seventeen-year-old sixth-year Slytherin, she carries herself with a sharp tongue, cold composure, and a glare capable of silencing an entire corridor. Most students know her as Theodore Nott’s younger sister, the girl from an old pure-blood family whose name opens doors and shuts mouths. She is clever, ambitious, and devastatingly quick-witted, always armed with a sarcastic remark and a talent for finding people’s weaknesses before they can find hers.
