In a world where his younger brother Charles is celebrated as the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter is cast aside by his own family, sent to the abusive Dursleys, and utterly forgotten. Years of neglect and cruelty awaken something ancient and hungry within Harry-a whispering presence that reveals itself as the God of Death.
On his tenth birthday, after a final act of abuse, Harry's suppressed magic explodes, killing the Dursleys and drawing him into a pact with Death itself. As Harry flees into the shadows, the God of Death becomes his only companion and mentor, teaching him to wield forbidden magic. Each time Harry uses his power, both he and the god grow stronger, and Harry's humanity slips further away.
Consumed by hatred for his family and especially for Charles, Harry becomes a force of vengeance and destruction. He haunts the wizarding world as a solitary, unstoppable figure, raising the dead, cursing his parents, and bringing entire institutions to ruin. The more magic he wields, the more the God of Death's influence grows, pushing Harry toward a destiny as Death's vessel and harbinger.
As the world collapses into chaos and the Potters beg for mercy, Harry's transformation nears completion. In the end, he stands alone atop a ruined world, the God of Death's voice now indistinguishable from his own-a silent king ruling over a kingdom of ashes, the end of all things.
Deathbound is a tale of abandonment, cosmic horror, and the corrupting allure of power, where the forgotten son becomes the world's final reckoning.
