  Summary

  When Maia Ochoa modern life comes to a premature end, a light shines on her, bringing her to a world she's always loved: the magical universe of Harry Potter. Reborn as Maia Gaunt, the last hope of a family scarred by violence and eugenics fanaticism, she must navigate the abuse of her father and brother, the power of magic, and the shadows of her own past.

  Maia finds herself facing a dilemma she never imagined: to continue her life in this world without interfering, searching for a way to return to her own reality, or to act, without knowing the consequences, to save an innocent life from a horrendous fate, forever changing the history she knew.
