Summary
On the eve of his eighteenth birthday, Harry Potter performs an ancient mourning ritual meant to sever “grievous attachments that burden the body and muddle the mind.”
It works.
Unfortunately, Harry doesn’t do a word-for-word translation of the text. It also doesn’t help that the thing he mourns most is himself.
Death, unwilling to keep him and unable to release him, sends him elsewhere instead—Wool's Orphanage. Summer, 1943.
Where Tom Riddle is sixteen years old and already becoming something terrible.
And Harry is far too tired to stop him.
