One drunken mistake.
One forgotten night.
One impossible child.
Months before the First Wizarding War reaches its bloody end, Marlene McKinnon discovers she is carrying Severus Snape's child. Before she can tell him, Voldemort's followers find her.
Cornered and dying, an ancient inheritance buried in the McKinnon bloodline finally awakens-not for Marlene... but for her unborn daughter.
Born in a burst of ancient Fae magic, the infant survives against every expectation. Tiny crystal-like wings, pointed ears, and eyes that shimmer with old magic mark her as something the wizarding world has almost forgotten.
She is also heartbreakingly fragile.
Born months too early, unable to regulate her own magic, with malformed wings and a weak heart, every healer believes she will not survive.
There is only one person left to claim her.
Severus Snape.
A man who has never held a child.
A Death Eater trapped between two worlds.
A father who never knew he wanted to be one.
As Voldemort rises to power and Dumbledore begins weaving his own plans, Severus discovers there is nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose-except his daughter.
