Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. 
 
If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe what-ever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life. 
 
Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways. 
 
If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. 
 
But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel something stirring inside-stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a mat-ter of time before they sense it too, and they'll come for you. 
 
Don't say I didn't warn you.
