Lily Evans and the Lefay Torc

"He felt the bottom drop out of his stomach as he read the words at the top of the first page. 'My name is Lily Evans and I live at number Nine, Roscoe Lane in Mill Town with my parents and older sister Petunia...'"

"Mr. Evans was cut off as something large, brown and feathered whizzed through the kitchen window, which Mrs. Evans had opened to air the kitchen while she cooked; it bounced off of the table and landed in the open refrigerator, between the eggs and the milk. Petunia let out a shriek and fell off her chair and Lily shouted in surprise, letting go of the door handle by mistake and closing the creature inside."

"There was a sudden heart rending crack. Lily whipped around, and for an instant, time stilled. She was able to take in Severus' look of abject horror and fear, before he disappeared from view, icy rivets of water splashing upward and spilling over the slick ice of the river."

"For a split second, he returned his attention to her, and she was staggered by the expression of deep regret and sorrow. "I'm so sorry," he told her. "I never meant for it to pass to you. I thought I was the last, and that with my death, he would be unable to find the Torc. But I forgot that it was forged by magic much more powerful than that of wizards. It has a mind of its own, you see? It sought you by blood." "What sought me?" He answered her, but in another language, an one that reminded her of when her father spoke Welsh. Even though she knew she had never spoken it, the words reached her as though spoken in her own tongue. "The Lefay Torc.""

""Ah...you're Muggle-born." He looked her up and down again, as though really seeing her for the first time. "You are, aren't you? I've never met one of your kind before." The way he said 'your kind' put her on the defensive. "My parents are Muggles, if that's what you mean," she told him coldly. "And my friend Severus says there's nothing wrong with that.""

An enchanted journal exposes the secrets of Lily Evans' past, revealing that she was far more than simply the clever Muggleborn mother of Harry, wife of James and first love of Severus – she was also the conduit of an ancient pact sworn centuries before, whose task never truly ended upon her death. In this first installment of an epic series, Lily Evans discovers that not only is she a witch bound for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she has to deal with discrimination against Muggleborns, a poltergeist with a grudge, and friendships that may or may not stand the test of time, but that she has also been targeted by a dark force seeking to destroy her – and everything else.
