Sequel to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠'Bending Light'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

It's a year since Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy parted in Italy with promises of love and fidelity. The Battle of Hogwarts is over and Voldemort is dead. And although the price paid was high, Hermione is ready to start the rest of her life, and her eighth year studies, with Draco by her side. No hiding and no shame.But when Draco finally arrives at Hogwarts, it's obvious that things are very wrong. Why is he acting so strangely? And what happened during the long months he lived as a double agent, passing secrets from the Death Eaters to the Order?No one is talking, but Hermione will get to the truth, even if it means breaking her own heart in the process.

If Bending Light was the warm, lazy Italian summer, this is the dark, brooding Scottish winter. Dress warmly.
