Prologue

Celaena Kyle is fighting a battle that began the second her father chose to bring her into this world. In the cursed moments before Voldemort fled, that night in Godric's hollow, he fathered a daughter with a woman who never wanted her. Five years after his death, Celaena lives alone, haunted by what she was meant, and failed, to do. There could have been a future with him; the boy she once loved, perhaps still does. But those who can't choose sides are doomed to fail. Follow her through the pensieve, as she relives those moments of her past, and maybe, just maybe, finds a way to let him, Malfoy, bring love into her life.
