Following a momentous battle against giants for the fate of the world, Ronan emerges victorious as the last man standing of the imperial army. His comrades are dead. His commander is dying. The giants are defeated, but the cost was everything.
As he laments this hollow victory with his dying commander, Grand Marshal Adeshan, they quickly learn that the war is far from over. From the heavens above, an overwhelming force of giants descends, more numerous than the wave they just barely survived.
Victory was never victory. The war was never ending. And Ronan is the last soldier left to face an army.
Fearing the worst yet seeing hope in the courageous young man before her, Adeshan uses her last time slip. A forbidden power. A final gift. She sends Ronan back to the past, decades before the war began, decades before the giants invaded.
His mission: enroll in the prestigious Phileon Academy. Train. Grow. Become the strongest swordsman the empire has ever seen. And prepare for a war that no one else knows is coming.
Ronan wakes up as a young man again. His muscles are soft. His skills are rusty. The faces of his dead friends are alive and smiling at him. They have no idea what is coming.
He must make them strong enough to survive.
