Summary
In a world bound by prophecy and ruled by fear, Albus Dumbledore stands at the center of magical Britain’s power. He is untouchable, revered, and unquestioned. His legend is law. His failures are buried beneath myth.
But in the shadows, there are those who remember.
Cygnus Greengrass, aristocrat and master strategist, once dared to challenge Dumbledore’s dominion, and paid dearly for it. Years later, he sees in Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, not just a weapon, but an inevitability. A force preordained by prophecy itself.
With Harry about to begin Hogwarts, Cygnus gives his daughter Daphne a single, dangerous instruction.
Befriend him.
What happens when Harry’s raw, untamed power, nerve, and moral certainty collide with calculation, ambition, and a buried hunger for justice over betrayal, loss, and lies told in the name of the greater good?
Harry Potter and the Machiavellian Candidate is a sweeping reimagining of the Wizarding World. It is a political thriller, a prophecy-driven epic, and a meditation on power, love, and what happens when a symbol becomes a movement.
