If I can rule one realm, I can rule them all."
Before the "Greater Good," there was the Hunger. In the summer of 1899, Godric's Hollow is a cage for Albus Dumbledore-a prison of family duty and wasted potential. But the arrival of the golden, dangerous Gellert Grindelwald changes everything. Between the whispered promises of Hallows and the heat of a summer romance that will change history, Albus makes a choice that will echo for a century.
While the world sees a brilliant young wizard in love, Albus is reaching into the dark. Seeking a power to bypass his limitations, he strikes a bargain with a force that predates magic itself: the Anti-Christ.
This is the story of how a man of the Light became a God of Blight. It is the chronicle of the first Horcrux, the manipulation of the man he loved, and the dark foundation upon which the Wizarding World was built. Harry Potter thinks he knows the man he is fighting... but Albus Dumbledore's darkness goes deeper than any soul.
