When He Who Must Not Be Named defeated Harry Potter, the Order fell, lives were turned upside down, and Hogwarts was no longer the famous wizarding school. The castle, which had been home to many witches and wizards over the years, is now ruled and heavily guarded by Voldemort himself as he sets out to take over the Wizarding World.
For Hermione Granger, after being taken captive for over three years and witnessing the horrific deaths of her friends, her life will never be the same.
A masked Death Eater visits her daily, with boiled potatoes and pumpkin juice to keep her alive. He never speaks, never reveals himself, but she feels safe around the unknown man, able to have a one-sided conversation while he stands in silence by her cell door.
That's until one day, he snaps while she writhes in pain from the crutiatus curse, going against everything he had been raised to believe in a desperate attempt to save the Filthy Little Mudblood.
Five isolated dungeons.
Four family names.
Three gruesome years.
Two interlocking souls.
One ultimate escape.
