Summary
Alina never expected to wake in a child’s body, least of all in 1926 New York.
Nineteen years old in her mind but only four in form, she is an obscurial born of another time, modern clothes clinging like a ghost of the future. Her arrival catches the attention of Gellert Grindelwald, who mistakes her fractured foresight for prophecy and takes her into his care.Fragile and terrifying in equal measure, Alina stumbles into the path of Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, Jacob Kowalski, and Credence Barebone. She is at once a child of ruin and a herald of change—chaotic, ambitious, and unrelenting in her hunger to bend the world to her will.
But even chaos has a heart, and as Alina learns to wield her destructive magic, she begins to change not just the future, but the people around her—including the darkest wizard of the age.
Part canon, part invention: this retelling of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them follows Alina’s journey across fifty chapters, weaving gothic prophecy, theatrical chaos, and the fragile power of a child-turned-oracle.
