    Summary

    When the scars of Harry's trauma finally take their toll, Hermione takes it upon herself to help her best friend, in any way she can. However, scars can hide terrible secrets, Harry's more than anyone's, and unearthing them reveals the greatest hardship Harry could ever face: the battle for his soul.

    What happens when the Boy-Who-Lived realises that he's a dead man walking? What hope is there is to be found when even tomorrow has been taken from you? And can the power of love really be the answer in a hopeless world?

    [A realistic take on Harry developing PTSD from his endless list of traumatic experiences and how that change spirals into him discovering the truth of his scar much too early and the journey he goes on to reclaim his life before his inevitable death.]
