Summary
The history of the Global Wizarding War is a settled matter, a nursery tale of good versus evil. But in 1981, ambitious historian Beatrice Vance is granted an unprecedented opportunity: to interview the war's most enigmatic and terrifying figure, the man the world remembers only as "The Raven."
From his cell in Nurmengard, Henry Potter agrees to tell his story. It is a tale of a love so fierce it became a weapon, of a trauma that twisted a protector into a tyrant, and of a grand, logical, and horrifying philosophy built "For the Greater Good."
As Beatrice records the testimony of the man who helped bring a world to its knees, the monster of the history books begins to fade. In the quiet of Nurmengard's most secure cell, the lines between truth and justification blur, and she must fight to remember the warnings of the outside world before the story she came to capture, captures her instead.
