The Archivist's Heir

by Writer · dark fantasy, magical mystery · a serial in progress

Iris Blackwood, a seventeen-year-old Ravenclaw with no magical family history, inherits her estranged grandmother's sprawling manor on the edge of the Forbidden Forest—and discovers it was once a sanctuary for wizards hunted by the Ministry. Hidden in its walls is a complete archive of falsified records, confessions, and secrets implicating some of Hogwarts' most respected staff. When the Ministry learns of the house's existence, Iris must decide whether to burn the truth to save herself, or risk everything to expose a decades-old conspiracy.
