Ivy Minkers leads a perfectly normal life. Home-learning. Chess matches with her twin sister. Hanging out with their muggle best friend. Sure, she's nervous about joining Hogwarts in third year - but Uncle Remus will be there, so what could possibly go wrong? One morning, she finds her mother - a sharp-tongued ex-socialite with French roots - crying over a newspaper. And everything unravels. Her world wasn't as safe as she thought. The people she trusted have been lying. Her so-called normal life? A golden cage in disguise. And now she has to spend the next ten months pretending everything is fine. The Sorting Hat separates her from the one person who understands. And, to top it off... she's starting to feel sympathy for a murderer. A traitor. Her father.
