After The Shadows // Sebastian Sallow

After defeating Ranrok, Siren attempts to continue her classes normally, however, she never imagined the shadowed secrets of her past would creep into her life again, entangling those closest to her. As the school year comes to an end, everything plummets into uncertainty when she receives a letter from the Ministry of Magic. Trials, a snake, and curses begin to stir, brewing the perfect potion for secrets, deception, and fear.
Once Siren finally embarks on her second year at Hogwarts, though desperate to excel academically, she struggles amidst the vicious grasp of her wavering past. Her desperation to help Anne grows as she once again endeavors to find a cure with a certain brown-eyed, freckle-faced serpent, Sebastian Sallow. Only this time, despite their reservations, a cure may not be the only thing the two discover along their journey. Sebastian finds his heart torn as Siren puts herself perilously close to danger, risking everything to save Anne by placing herself directly in the shadows once again.

This story starts immediately after In the Shadow of the Relic and continues on to 6th year.
