   Summary

   Tom Riddle doesn’t believe in love at first sight—but he does believe in obsession.

   He’s been fixated on Harry Potter since he first saw him play: dark hair curling over the tips of his ears, violin tucked neatly under his chin.

   In the competitive world of the Conservatory, their final year brings them an unexpected twist. What happens when Harry gets too close to uncovering the depth of Tom’s affection?

   Harry believes they’re rivals.

   Tom knows the truth is far worse than that.
