    Summary

    No Dark Lord. No war. Just a world where blood supremacy rules openly.

    In this Britain, the Malfoys are the power.

    And Hermione Granger—a Muggle-born in a hostile Ministry—survives by logic alone.

    When a pure-blood patriarch dies inside a locked room, the Ministry wants a scapegoat.
    But Hermione sees the flaw everyone else missed.
    To uncover the truth, she’s forced to seek help from the one wizard who should be her enemy twice over:

    Draco Malfoy.

    The untouchable heir of the ruling class.
    A ruthless political operator seizing power in the Ministry, who treats alchemy as a mere pastime.
    And the other half of a cold case that belongs only to them:

    A disastrous winter night in Sixth Year they both interpreted differently—and have avoided ever since.

    Now, what begins as a reluctant collaboration spirals into something far more dangerous—
    a conspiracy rooted deep in the foundations of wizarding Britain, where bloodlines are currency and truth is a threat.

    A Muggle-born woman and a pure-blood heir forced into an alliance that could remake the world…or burn them both alive.
