    Summary

    He had no need for an heir. He was his own legacy.
    He had no need for a child. He hated them, their crying, their sobbing, their stupidity, their uselessness.
    But he wanted infinity and he needed more than an army for that. More than a loyal lieutenant, though she was exactly what he required to make his intentions reality. He needed a body lasting more than a lifetime.
    Children had this neat little trait of being replaceable. But not his. They were an extension of what he was. They had to be perfect. And Lord Voldemort would ensure that they were.

    Fourth book and prequel to Birds of a Feather. Mostly canon-compliant. Covers the time between April 1954 and 2nd May 1998.
