Before He Became The Dark Lord… He Was Just A Boy.
Born from a forbidden love potion and abandoned by the father who never wanted him, Tom Marvolo Riddle grows up feared and alone in Wool’s Orphanage. Strange things happen around him — toys shatter, doors lock themselves, shadows obey his silent rage. The other children call him cursed. The nuns call him dangerous. And when his only friend, Mary Polly, meets a tragic end at his hands, the entire world brands him a monster.
But one letter changes everything.
Albus Dumbledore arrives with an invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For the first time, Tom steps into a world where his power has a name… and a legacy.
Armed with a wand of yew and phoenix feather, a mysterious vault at Gringotts, and eyes that burn an unnatural green, Tom enters the ancient halls of Hogwarts. He meets the proud pure-blood Lucius Malfoy, crosses paths with the golden-boy James Potter, and feels the Sorting Hat whisper secrets no one else can hear.
In Slytherin’s dungeons, ambition takes root. Old bloodlines stir. Whispers of the Gaunt name echo through the castle walls.
Some are chosen by fate.
Others forge their own.
This is the story of the boy who would become Voldemort — told from the very beginning. A tale of power, pain, friendship, betrayal, and the slow birth of darkness.
