Bookmarker's Notes
Timeline shenanigans that are so well thought out I was hoping we’d get some sort of parent trap style Hermione/Draco place swapping because I could tell the author was meticulous enough to make it amazing. I loooved the different versions of Hermione & Granger with their Draco & Malfoy counterparts and seeing how their relationships evolved so differently.

Summary
Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.
By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.
Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death.
Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it.
…But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun…
And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

What an incredible labor of love through the world building and creative magical systems! The AU is dark but the prose, the depth of emotion and the character growth is just dazzling. It’s so romantic and devastating and rewarding!
It’s so well written and evoked so much emotion I (for the first time ever) want to read The Art of War.

This feels so sincere and lovely. I adore the forced proximity, the snark and the little spark of something the two share from the beginning and the evolution it takes.
