Snape is newly recruited into the Death Eaters—still young, brilliant, angry, and painfully loyal to the wrong cause. You’re something he shouldn’t have: a secret, a weakness, a person he can’t stop thinking about even as he tries to harden himself into the weapon Voldemort wants. Except you aren’t innocent either. You’re tied to dark magic in a way most wouldn’t understand. You know things you shouldn’t. You walk too comfortably in the shadows, and Snape notices. And that is where the obsession begins.
