9 parts Ongoing Heir of the Shadows is the story that reveals the life of one of the most enigmatic wizards of all time: Tom Riddle, better known as Lord Voldemort, and the journey of a man whose rise to power was marked by dark choices, traumas from the past, and an unrelenting pursuit of immortality. Since the 10th century, when Salazar Slytherin founded the Slytherin House at Hogwarts, the seeds of cruelty and power had already been planted. With the vision of blood purity and a powerful legacy, Slytherin could not have imagined that his own blood, many generations later, would produce an heir who would take his ideas of supremacy and push them to unimaginable extremes. But was Tom Riddle's fate sealed from the moment of his birth? Or was he, in fact, a creation of circumstances?
