Time Shall Not Mend
A.J. Hall
Time Shall Not Mend is one in a series of LoPiverse books. You might like to refer to their suggested reading order, chronology & series information. It is a cross-over between the Harry Potterverse and the Vorkosigan novels of Lois McMaster Bujold.
A thousand years away and half across the galaxy a bereaved young woman stalks through a cocktail party thinking: “Anywhere but here”. Meanwhile, back on Earth and in the dying days of the struggle against Voldemort a plague has been unleashed on the wizarding community. A potion to cure it exists - but a crucial ingredient is a plant which grows only on a remote mountain in Scotland. And that mountain has an almost impenetrable defence around it. Worlds are about to collide…
