   Summary

   The Bird of Paradise flower—a splash of brief color in a bleak childhood, a gilded trophy in a manor, a forgotten relic in a library, a final gift at a doorstep. Severus Snape's life intersects with this impossible flower at every turn, a silent witness to all that is beautiful, fragile, and never meant to be his. From Spinner's End to the Shrieking Shack and beyond, a story about what survives.
