Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have lived similar lives, though they never realized it. All their lives, they've asked the same questions, though they never realized it. What do you do when the world turns against you? When your protectors become your betrayers and condemn you? What do you do when your world comes crashing down on you, and the darkness threatens to suck you into its grasp? Is there any hope, any kindness, any light to be found? Can the unloved find love in the unlikeliest of places? Can enemies put aside differences and learn to trust each other through friendship? Will the darkness that lingers eventually be vanquished, or will it claim victory forever? Will you be able to escape the darkness? Is it even possible? Little do they know that these very questions will bring them together on a journey like no other.
