   Summary

   Voldemort won the war. Harry Potter is dead
   The wizarding world is ruled by blood and fear, while a plague, one Voldemort himself unleashed, devours the Muggle world beyond it.
   Hermione Granger survives because she is claimed.
   Draco Malfoy meant to use her brilliance to save a dying world. Instead, she is given to Lestrange.

   Denied that choice, Draco becomes her protector, determined to keep her alive long enough to stop a catastrophe Voldemort is content to watch burn.

   This is not a story where love saves them.
   It damns them together.

   Expect:
   • Touch-starved romance
   • Forced proximity
   • Protective Draco
   • A love that costs everything
