   Summary

   They say Bellatrix Lestrange was mad. That she loved only pain and power and served Voldemort without question.

   That’s not the whole story.

   Before she was a Death Eater, she was a sister. A daughter. A woman trapped in a life she didn’t choose. She made her own choices—dangerous ones, desperate ones—but they weren’t what the world believes. Not really.

   This is the story of everything she lost. And everything she tried to protect.
