Fate/Ingens Cor

Fate/Ingens Cor is a story which chronicles Harry Potter and his adventures in dealing with a new Holy Grail War which has been triggered by Voldemort in one of his usual mad quests for power. The first chapter was published on April 15, 2011.

Set during Harry's fifth year, the story begins with the Death Eaters begin a ritual led by a bastard son of the Einzberns who desires power and isn't afraid of where he has to go in order to get it. Stealing as much knowledge from his family and Clock Tower about the Heaven's Feel as he can get, he attempts to bring down the Holy Grail in what amounts to a Confoundus Ritual to trick it into granting Voldemort a wish.

It didn't go exactly as planned.

In the wake of the failed ritual, Voldemort stands to be counted among the Masters who will take part in the war with Berserker by his side. All over Great Britain though, other Masters are selected by either chance or their own design to take part in the War to come. Among them is none other than Harry Potter whom in an attempt to escape the Dementors who come to kill him, accidentally summons a Servant of his own, a knight in black armour claiming to be called Saber...
