Prologue: The Goblin Gaze and the Two Names

For seventeen years, Hadrian James Potter knew himself as Harry, the Boy Who Lived. He faced down Voldemort, navigated the treacherous halls of Hogwarts, and relied on the unwavering loyalty of his best friends. But a hidden letter, unearthed in the depths of Gringotts, shatters everything he thought he knew.
His father wasn't just James Potter. He was Loki Laufeyson, the God of Mischief, who wove an intricate illusion around Lily Evans and their life together, even attending Hogwarts under a false identity. Now, Harry learns he possesses a name from another realm - Ástríkr Lokison - a heritage that stretches beyond the familiar magic of wands and spells to the cosmic power of Asgard.
Torn between the life he knew and the godly legacy he never imagined, Harry must grapple with the devastating truth of his parentage. His anger at Loki's deception wars with the undeniable love his mother held for both the illusion and the god beneath. As Voldemort's shadow looms larger than ever, Harry must confront not only the darkest wizard of all time but also the bewildering reality of who he truly is - a wizard with a god for a father, bearing two names and the weight of two worlds upon his young shoulders. The secrets unearthed in Gringotts will force Harry to question everything, and the choices he makes will determine not only his own destiny but perhaps the fate of both Midgard and the magical world he calls home.
