The magical Wizarding World is split into two sides. On the Pureblood and old magic side of things where alliances are forged with blood and magic, Bella Nott finds herself bound to the last person she ever expected, Mattheo Riddle, in an arranged marriage ordained to secure the future of their people. As heirs to their respective houses, they are thrust into a union neither desires but must endure for the greater good.
While they've only met a handful of times, Their hatred flourished since the beginning. Bella, fierce and independent, has always resented Mattheo for his arrogance and cold demeanour. Likewise, Mattheo sees Bella as a reckless upstart, unworthy of her lineage. Yet, as they navigate the treacherous waters of the Wizarding World and battle together against external threats, they discover a grudging respect and a growing attraction that neither can deny.
Forced into close proximity, they slowly unravel each other's secrets and scars, finding unexpected common ground. But with the weight of duty, pride, and honour bearing down on them, can they set aside their differences and unite not only their houses but also their hearts? Or will their alliance crumble beneath the shadows of past betrayals and the plots of those who would see them torn apart?
In a world where trust is a weapon and love is a battlefield, Bella and Mattheo must decide whether to forge their own path or succumb to the pressures of tradition.
