My Thouhts:

This is a deliciously dark AU with a complex Harry. Harry is Izar Harrison, the bastard son of Lily Potter and Regulus Black. Lily is an Unspeakable whose area of expertise is the Veil. Izar meets Lily during his summer work as an Unspeakable. Without knowing that she is his mother, Izar feels only contempt for this weak and depressed woman who seems broken. Izar, abandoned to a muggle orphanage by Lily for unknown reasons, grows up bitter and introverted, but brilliant. He is lonely and embraces his loneliness, careful to remain safe by keeping himself isolated from anything or anyone. The only thing he holds dear is his mind, his extreme, fierce intelligence. Enter Tom Riddle, the Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, a man with more magic and charisma than Izar has ever seen. It only takes one look for Tom to want Izar, both as a Death Eater and as something more, something that Tom isn’t even quite sure of.  I am loving this story and eagerly await each update. It is very AU, but the writing is excellent and I find the characterizations of Harry/Izar and Voldemort to be fascinating. 5/5 stars.
