Prologue

Professor Fig was dead. Her friends had turned against her. And now, with a corrupt magic that she couldn't control, all Clara Leid had left was Sebastian Sallow -the boy for whom she'd do it all again.

Desperate, the two find answers in Salazars Scriptorium, binding themselves together for the rest of their lives -no matter how short.

Now, six years after the Ministry of Magic buried Sebastian beside his parents in Feldcroft, Clara finds that some bonds transcend death.
