Ancient variations awaken, along with memories that don't belong to him — some illuminating forgotten magic, others sharp, dark, and dangerous. Sent to Hogwarts as a professor, Cassian must juggle pureblood family expectations, faculty suspicion, and a power that grows every time he teaches — while wondering whether he is drawing on ancient wisdom or inviting something far worse into himself.
