Summary
Fall, 1967. In the quiet chaos of Sugar and Spellcraft Bakery, Walburga Black lay dead on the floor, her life ending at precisely 2:47 PM. Her sons, Sirius and Regulus, stand over her lifeless body, their reactions as different as night and day: one masked in cold fury, the other trembling with barely contained grief. Juliet Taylor looked upon the scene feeling both anxious and exhilarated. Her plan worked. Walburga Black is dead, and with her death, the next stage of Juliet’s carefully laid plans begins.
Regardless of the changes she already made, Juliet is unprepared for interest Arcturus takes in her after she tried and failed to save Walburga. As Orion offers to help her research her family connections, she was both thrilled and terrified that her choices were already starting to change the future.
Yet, later in the evening, as she was ascending the steps of her new townhome, Juliet was hit with the sudden urge to cry. It was stupid really, as Walburga Black did not deserve her tears, but Hope Potter had never learned to stop feeling sorry for people in either of her lives.
