    Summary

    In 1982, just after the fall of the Dark Lord, Severus Snape took in a Muggle-born Slytherin, Aranea Blackwood. She became his quiet shadow for the entirety of her Hogwarts years, shaped by his teachings in the wake of his deepest grief.

    Now, years later, Twenty-five year old Aranea is recruited by Severus Snape to infiltrate the Death Eaters. The man who once protected her no longer sees the girl he raised—only a reflection of his own sins.

    Once, she owed him everything.
    Now, she doesn’t know what he’s taken from her.
