Born at the bottom of society, Jake survives by leading Sabertooth, a mercenary group loyal to him. He clawed his way up from nothing. He bled for every scrap of power he earned. He built a family out of outcasts and killers who trusted him with their lives.
Then he was ultimately betrayed and killed by the nobles he served. The same nobles who used him. The same nobles who threw him away when he was no longer useful.
But instead of death, he awakens to a new life with soft, frail hands and the title of the third son of House Valdek, the most powerful family in the empire, rivaling even the crown. Surrounded by wealth and splendor, Jake realizes he has been granted a second chance to fulfill his ambition.
He is no longer a mercenary scraping by on scraps. He is a noble with resources. A family with influence. A position that gives him access to everything he never had.
So he sets off, determined to rise as high as possible. Look out, world, here comes Lucian Valdek.
