Story Summary:
They fear the dark. Not me. They call it evil. What is evil? They say it consumes, controls. No one controls me. Not anymore. They hate me. I don't care. They don't understand. But I'll show them all... especially him... One witch must embrace the darkness in order to rid the wizarding world of its ultimate evil and finally redeem the house of her forefathers. The past is not set in stone and things are never what they seem. A journey filled with love, lust, lies, revenge and betrayal. Dubious prophecies, dueling Marauders and uncovering deeply buried secrets. The truth will rock the wizarding world to its ancient magical foundation and every witch and wizard will question their once firmly-held beliefs...
