Voldemort was going to kill Verita. He was going to murder her brutally, and Severus Snape was going to be the one to create the lie that both saved her life and brought himself into it. Mendacity - an act of lying.

Sequel to Mendacity. Verita was living with a disguised Severus Snape. Of course, Verita herself was still being hunted. Verita was captured. Did they find out Severus' identity or did they not realise the veracity of the situation? Veracity - conformity to facts; accuracy - truth.

Severus Snape, a man who has had to suffer much, has more or less resigned himself to a forever lonely existence. But he is given a chance to heal. Trust, however, does not come easily, nor does the belief that he could ever be lovable. A journey full of drama, romance, and passion.
