In 1936, a brutal vampire attack left 17 year old Vera abandoned and bleeding in the woods, death seemed inevitable. The Cullens were out on a hunt when Esme's keen senses led her to the faint scent of Vera's blood. With no other option to save her, Esme made a desperate, impulsive choice-she turned Vera, forever binding her to the immortal world she never wanted. When Vera finally returns to her family, will her decisions come back to haunt? Will he come back to haunt her?

In the shadows of Hogwarts, where legacy is power and magic runs ancient, a girl rises from a powerful ancient bloodline. Alsephina Black - daughter of Regulus Black and a descendant of Salazar Slytherin through an ancient Greek bloodline - is as feared as she is gifted. Born with magic older than the castle's stones and colder than the lake's depths, she walks the line between brilliance and madness, beauty and danger. Obsessed with Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, Alsephina doesn't want to destroy him - she wants to belong to him, to be the blade he carries into the dark. But Harry sees only the power in her... not the girl unraveling beneath it. As war looms and prophecy tightens its grip, Alsephina must choose: be the weapon they all expect - or become something far more dangerous. A haunting romance. A dangerous legacy. A girl born from darkness who dares to bloom.
