But when Draco Malfoy brings his friends home, everything changes the moment they meet his younger sister. Hidden from their world, she is nothing like them—kind, gentle, and untouched by the expectations that shaped them all. Drawn to her warmth and quiet strength, each of them finds themselves affected in ways they don’t understand… some falling, some protecting, and some unraveling. But in a world built on control, legacy, and darkness, innocence like hers was never meant to last—and the closer they get, the more they risk changing her… or being changed themselves.

What begins as reluctant responsibility turns into something far more dangerous — love. But in a world built on violence and power, love is a weakness enemies are eager to exploit. And when someone threatens the one person Rowan refuses to lose, the city will finally discover why even monsters are afraid of her.
