The Boy Who Chose the Dark

Five years have passed since the end of the Wizarding War and the death of Voldemort, yet Arabella Blackthorn waits with a mixture of dread and anticipation to see the man who defeated him. When she finally comes face-to-face with the Boy Who Lived, she does something she never expected, she begins to tell her story.

A story of the wizarding world's most feared and evil wizard, and of a love that once existed between them. A love that seemed like a fairy tale, but one fated to end in tragedy. Arabella wants Harry Potter to know that, for a fleeting moment in his life, Tom Riddle was capable of love, and that she had loved him too.
