Extended Summary


Christine Blake was, as far as she had long been led to believe, an ordinary child. As far as she knew, her mother was an ordinary homemaker. She made her wage selling homemade preserves. Her father, a mechanic who specialised in motorcycles.

This was not entirely true.

When she was eight Christine's mother died. Cyllene Blake took to her grave a rather large secret. Neither Christine not her father had any idea of this until Christine turned eleven.

The reveal of this secret came in the form of a letter, enveloped in thick, heavy parchment. The direction written in emerald ink. Sealed with purple wax, which had a strange symbol stamped into it.


A/N - This is the longer version of the summary of Not Quite a Squib, After All, which was posted along with this work on Archive of Our Own. Since I find the character limit on a bit annoying, so I tend to post my full summaries as a chapter.
