Fabulous cover art generously created by Harrison Wood Hsiang (@hsiang.arts). I love how although Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger are ostensibly watching Quidditch, they are more interested in each other than the match

Synopsis

Newly released from Azkaban and desperate for a distraction, Draco Malfoy reluctantly buys the struggling Falmouth Falcons Quidditch team. His fragile plan for redemption is complicated by the team’s brilliant, but discontented trainee Healer, Hermione Granger. She is struggling to find a way to make a meaningful difference in a post-war Wizarding society that has not changed as much as she hoped.

As their collaboration evolves, their relationship mirrors the team’s tumultuous 2001 Quidditch season with a series of spectacular victories and devastating setbacks. Their journey is filled with scandalous flying lessons, stolen dances, and a bizarre, unpredictable enchanted bus—all of which might lead to the second chance they’ve both been seeking.
