Harry Potter and the Grey Tiger

Everyone knows Harry Potter as the Boy Who Lived. Few know that he survived the years that followed because his uncle made the wizarding world believe he had vanished. Rowen Evans—the younger brother of Lily and Petunia—is a former Auror, a brilliant inventor of charms, and a merciless bounty hunter feared across Europe and Asia as the Grey Tiger. On the night Voldemort comes for the Potters, Rowen launches a desperate attack against the Death Eaters. He fails to save Lily and James, but he refuses to let Dumbledore decide Harry’s future. Using a false baby as a decoy, Rowen secretly places the real Harry in Petunia’s care and protects her home with his greatest creation: the Wizard-Repelling Charm. He then disappears from Britain, drawing the attention of the wizarding world away from his nephew. Joined by a newly exonerated Sirius Black, Rowen spends the following years hunting Peter Pettigrew and searching for a cure for the darkness hidden inside Harry’s lightning-shaped scar. Their journey carries them from Europe to India, Southeast Asia, China, and the dangerous streets of British Hong Kong, where escaped Death Eaters soon learn to fear the Grey Tiger’s sword. When Harry’s Hogwarts letter finally arrives, Rowen and Sirius return home and accept positions at the school. But Hogwarts is not the sanctuary it appears to be. Snape seems determined to torment Harry, forbidden creatures guard hidden secrets, and Dumbledore’s mysterious plans place children dangerously close to an unfinished war. Rowen has already lost one sister to Voldemort. He will not allow Harry to become another sacrifice—not for destiny, not for prophecy, and not for the greater good. The Grey Tiger has returned to Britain, and anyone who threatens his family will soon learn why even the Death Eaters fear his name.
