At Hogwarts, whispered prophecies speak of a venefica. A witch born with magic that tempts fate as much as it defies it. Cadence has spent years pretending that she feels nothing, sees nothing, knows nothing... even as her power stirs beneath her skin like a second pulse.
Mattheo Riddle notices.
He always has.
Where others see a quiet Slytherin girl with honey-brown eyes and a habit of vanishing, Mattheo sees the danger she tries to hide, her lack of control.
Their paths coil around each other like twin serpents: drawn together, mistrustful, addicted, unwilling to step closer but unable to let go.
Secrets that should stay buried rise between them. Loyalties blur. Lines thin.
And the closer Cadence comes to the truth of her own magic, the more Mattheo realizes that loving her might be the one thing powerful enough to undo them both.
Because a venefica is not destined to save anyone.
she is destined to change everything.
