Written for an adult audience, this series of two novels, two novellas, and several short stories is an epic literary romance that delves deep into the psyches of two of the Harry Potter universe’s most beloved–and complicated–characters. Set against the backdrop of World War II and the Wizarding Wars, it explores the question of what happens when a powerful, ambitious woman falls in love with someone equally powerful but much more damaged and morally ambiguous, and how they navigate the mores of their time and the demands of service to a greater cause.
The series doesn’t shy away from Dumbledore’s less attractive qualities, nor does it ignore his previous relationship with Gellert Grindelwald, so it won’t be for readers who expect an uncomplicated, “fluffy” McGonagall x Dumbledore romance, but Harry Potter fans who enjoy nuanced, mature characterizations and relationships will love it.
The story weaves history, music, literature, and science into the narrative to build a three-dimensional universe inhabited by a large cast of characters both familiar and original.
While the series fits into book canon, it ignores Pottermore and many of J. K. Rowling’s media statements on the stories and characters.
