With Dumbledore dead and Hogwarts sealed tight under the gathering storm of Voldemort’s reign, Hermione Granger clings to reason and hope—until a mysterious scroll left behind by Dumbledore reveals an impossible solution. Thrust backward into the 1940s, she finds herself in a world at war, magic dark and bright colliding as she crosses paths with a brilliant, dangerous boy destined to become a monster. When the brightest witch of her age meets Tom Riddle in his prime, salvation and damnation may begin to look alarmingly alike.
