Born on the same day as Harry Potter, Amara Potter was meant to share in the love, the legacy, and the life that came with the name. She didn't. Forgotten in the shadow of her twin and blamed for a birth that nearly cost her mother everything, Amara grows up on the edges of a family that never quite claimed her. But on the night of her first birthday, something changes. Taken from the only home she has ever known, Amara is brought before a man the wizarding world fears-a man who should not be capable of care. And yet, he keeps her. Raised under a new name, in a world built on power, blood, and control, Amara becomes Colette Gaunt-the daughter of a man who was never meant to be human again. At Hogwarts, she stands on the opposite side of everything she was born into... including the boy who was once her other half. Some stories begin with love. This one begins with being left behind.
