Time Shall Not Mend

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…

Warnings: The author chooses not to warn.

This work was conceived as a birthday tribute to E.H. Smith, whose trilogy Marks and Scars, Without Enchantment, and No Great Magic first crossed the Vorkosiverse with the Potterverse, to stunning effect.
