The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione’s throat—shattering against her neck, shards of glass and gold embedding into her skin. The last thing she saw before darkness claimed her was a plume of metallic dust and fractured light, tiny prisms burning behind her eyelids.

When Hermione awakens, it is 1950. The war she knows hasn’t yet begun, and the Dark Lord is still only Tom Riddle—brilliant, ruthless, and dangerously curious about the witch who doesn’t belong in his time. As she navigates the treacherous web of pureblood politics and seductive dark magic, Hermione must confront a man who is both her greatest threat and her most compelling obsession.
