Voldemort may be dead, but his legacy still haunts the Wizarding World. When Voldemort's remaining Death Eaters attempt to seize the remains of his power base, the Ministry of Magic turns to an unlikely trio: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, and Tavion Blackwood - a former Death Eater whose past may be key to stopping this new threat.

A sequel to "This Cruel Reality". The group is faced with a threat unlike any they've ever encountered before. A combination of the hanging threat of starvation, as well as a dangerous new group, threatens to destroy the new life they've worked so hard to build for each other. Now, with the help of some unlikely allies, Tanner must protect his new family or risk losing them all.

Tanner Bradly is, in every way shape and form, a loner. That all changes one fateful Georgian afternoon thanks to one person: Carl Grimes. Confronted by the sudden new sensation of companionship, Tanner must face his demons for the sake of his new group, and ends up developing an important bond along the way.
