Summary
Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.
By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.
Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death.
Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it.
…But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun…
And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

Summary
“Something the matter?” he looks deceptively earnest, a bit of a tease in his voice. Hermione’s sure it’d be doing something to her if she weren’t so cross. “I’m sensing hostility. You know how important a safe work environment—”
“Save it, Malfoy.” She’d slap him again if he weren’t so far away. “You pointy little saboteur.”
He drops the act with a sigh. “Gods, Granger, you really do need to get laid.”
“Yes, that seems to be the general consensus,” she seethes, fixing him with a harsher glare, “Unfortunately, my efforts to achieve orgasm were thwarted by a prat with a white-knight complex.”

Summary
When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a mandatory Eighth Year, she is grateful for the pause — a chance to recover from the war and the nightmares that still plague her. Determined to find happiness and enjoy her final year, Hermione expects healing to be quiet. But of course it isn’t. This is Hogwarts. A small group of Slytherins approach her in confidence, asking her to help Draco Malfoy before it’s too late. Hermione is forced to make a choice — one that pulls her back into old tensions, dangerous secrets, and the unsettling realization that some of the most brutal battles are fought inside one’s mind.
