Betrayed. Slain. Reborn in the body of a disgraced child. Once known as Lucian Drelborn, the last Archmage and right hand of the Empire, he destroyed entire kingdoms with magic—until the emperor’s son betrayed him and left him for dead. Now, he awakens twenty years in the past, in the fragile body of Kael Ardyn, the second-youngest son of a famed sword family. Weak. Mocked. Just a boy who lost a duel and took his own life in shame. But the world doesn’t know who now lives in that body. With ancient knowledge of magic and a new legacy of blades, Kael will rise again—not to serve, but to reshape the fate of nations. The empire that betrayed him is rising in the shadows, summoning demons to conquer the land… and Kael may be the only one who can stop it. The path to vengeance begins with uncovering a spy within his own family—and ends with the burning of an empire. Magic is rare. But Kael Ardyn is rarer. This time, he fights for himself.
