Before he became Voldemort, Tom Riddle was a brilliant, lonely boy, abandoned to an orphanage during the chaos of WWII. Quiet, cunning, and impossibly charming, he navigates Hogwarts' secrets, ambition, and a dangerous first love, Eveline Rosier, whose touch awakens something he's never known: warmth. But love makes him weak, and power demands sacrifice. Witness the haunting transformation of the boy who would become the Dark Lord, in a story of forbidden magic, tragic romance, and the birth of fear itself.
