Summary
Ten years after the war, Hermione Granger is a celebrated hero, a tireless political reformer–but behind closed doors, she's drowning in a Ministry that praises her with one breath and silences her with the next. She's brilliant, respected... and dangerously close to being done playing by their rules.
Cleared of his war crimes and sharper than ever, Draco Malfoy didn't just survive the fallout–he seized it. The most feared name in Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld, he controls the flow of potions, secrets, and power. And now, he's being ordered to marry the Ministry's Golden Girl.
Thrown into a marriage neither expected and neither intends to lose, Hermione and Draco must decide whether to rule from the shadows or burn the whole damn system down... together.
He may be the King of Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld–
but she is the Queen.
And may the gods help anyone who disrespects the Queen.

Summary
5 years ago, Draco Malfoy was forced to choose who lives and who dies: his wife or his son.
Since the death of Astoria, Draco has kept his head down, and his son safe. Continuing his work as an Auror, he's tried to find the killer known as the 'Reaper'. Things have been quiet until a familiar Curse-Breaker has a breakthrough in countering the Unforgivables. A breakthrough so brilliant, that it awakens a demon from his past.
When Hermione Granger discovers how to counter the Cruciatus Curse, she garners the attention of the Reaper. Forced to put her research on hold while Auror Malfoy is assigned to protect her, Hermione struggles with the lack of workload. Her recent engagement to Ronald Weasley was broken due to her struggle to have children. With the possibility of being barren looming over her, Hermione is struggling with self-worth, grief, and life.
That is, until she's asked to watch Scorpius Malfoy whilst Draco tries to solve cases that are steadily leading him closer and closer to the Reaper's whereabouts. It's then that she realizes that not all families are made; they're found. Only... getting close to Scorpius and his hot father could get her killed.
