Arthur was fifty, tired, and forgotten. He died in a sterile hospital room, a man who had played it safe and lost everything. But death wasn't the end. He wakes up in the body of an eight-year-old boy named Kaelen, in a world where the dirt is stained with blood and the "Middle Ages" are just beginning to crawl out of the dark.
Sold to the Order of the Obsidian Veil, Kaelen is forged into a weapon. But unlike the other orphans, Kaelen has the mind of a man who knows the value of a second chance. As the world transitions from tribal warring to civilized empires, Kaelen moves through the shadows, caught between a forbidden love with a deadly rival and a conspiracy that threatens to undo the very civilization they are building.

       With Silas disconnected, the Silver Sentinels lost their primary directive. Their red eyes turned purple the color of "System Error." They began to attack everything, perceiving both Silas's guards and Kaelen as "Corruption."


      Kaelen snapped back into his body, falling to the floor as gravity returned with a bone-jarring thud.


"Lyra!" He ran to her. She was alive, but her hands were burned from the energy discharge.


"The AI is listening," Kaelen said, looking at the Sentinels closing in. "But we have to survive the 'Clean-Up' phase."
