    Summary

    They were supposed to be perfect.

    Sirius Black had spent his whole life learning how to be the son his family wanted. Regulus had spent his learning how to disappear into the shadows.

    But when their parents discover the truth about them, there is no pretending left to do.

    So they run.

    Leaving France, their family, and everything they've ever known behind, Sirius and Regulus find themselves at their uncle Alphard's doorstep in London, with nothing but a suitcase, a few bruises, and each other.

    For the first time, they are allowed to breathe.

    Then there is Hogwarts High School.

    There is Lily Evans, who talks too much and cares too much. Remus Lupin, who sees more than he says. And James Potter—bright, reckless, impossibly kind James Potter.

    The boy Sirius can't stop looking at.

    The boy Regulus can't stop thinking about.

    Maybe running away wasn't the end of their story.

    Maybe it was the beginning.
