Summary
Every seven years, the ruthless Dark King of the Slytherin Empire summons eligible maidens from across the continent to his palace—a month‑long spectacle disguised as romance but functioning as political theatre. Hermione Granger, orphaned, brilliant, and deeply anti‑Empire, never expected her name to appear on the Summons. That honour was meant for her perfect cousin Helena.
But when the invitation arrives, old family grudges ignite. Hermione must confront the political legacy of her parents, the dangerous magic of the Old and New Ways, and the powerful forces who want to claim her as their own. With enemies at her heels and the Empire’s eyes fixed on her arrival, Hermione is about to enter a world where alliances are deadly, people hide in plain sight behind masks, and the Dark King’s attention normally ends in a death sentence.
And she has no intention of playing by their rules.
