Severus Snape has always been an outcast-tormented at school, neglected at home, and betrayed by the only people he thought cared. But when secrets about his past come to light and unseen forces begin to stir, Severus finds himself caught in a web of power, betrayal, and destiny. As the lines between ally and enemy blur, he must uncover the truth about himself before it's too late. What if the wings you never knew you had were the key to your escape?
