"As I have said, this is the Dark Lord's orders-" I detonated. "I'm sorry, what... what are you talking about?" I couldn't breathe. Snape's black eyes narrowed as they bore into mine. "You have to become a death eater." Emma Evergreen is a perfectly ordinary Slytherin girl - mean-spirited, intelligent and ambitious, her only goal to come out top of her classes. All is well until she finds out Draco Malfoy's terrible secret. Forced to become a death eater against her will, branded with the dark mark and put on a mission that could end her life, Emma struggles with her concience in a battle to be good or evil.
