The Werewolf Scar: A Harry Potter Chronicle

--- The war is over, but the greatest battle has just begun. Five years after defeating Voldemort, Harry Potter has traded his school robes for Auror leathers, hailed as the wizarding world's steadfast hero. But victory came with a hidden, brutal cost. In the war's final, chaotic moments, the werewolf Fenrir Greyback exacted his revenge, leaving Harry with a cursed inheritance: the bite of a lycanthrope. Now, Harry lives a double life, a secret kept only by Ron and Hermione. By day, he is a powerful Auror, hunting dark wizards with the sharpened senses and relentless energy the moon grants him. By night, especially under its full gaze, he battles the feral beast within, a monster he fears more than any Dark Lord. The Wolfsbane Potion is his only tether to humanity, a constant reminder that his heroism is a fragile mask. When a new, violent pack of werewolves emerges, leaving a trail of mauled bodies, Harry is assigned to lead the investigation. Thrust into the dark underbelly of the world he now secretly belongs to, he is forced to use his own curse as a weapon, walking a razor's edge between his duty and his nature. Every transformation is a fight for control, and every successful arrest risks exposing the truth: that the Ministry's most celebrated hunter is the very monster he's sworn to destroy. As a rising tide of political purism threatens to oppress all magical "half-breeds," Harry's secret becomes a ticking time bomb. To protect the life he's built and the people he loves—including his godson, Teddy Lupin, who may share his cursed legacy—Harry must confront the most terrifying enemy he has ever faced: himself. He must learn to wield the wolf's power without losing his own soul, or risk becoming the very dark legend the world now fears.
