Cecil Perdium, the legendary Mercenary King, died on the battlefield before he could ever avenge his family’s destruction. His last breath brought a devastating truth: Duke Delphine, the man who ruined his house, never worked alone. There were others pulling the strings.
Then he opened his eyes.
Back in his teenage body. Back before the betrayal. Back before everyone he loved was lost.
Now Cecil has a second chance, and he has a plan.
But nothing comes easy. His family’s territory is in shambles. Soldiers and knights are defecting daily because the conditions are unbearable. His own reputation is a joke. And the clock is ticking toward his family’s inevitable downfall.
Cecil knows exactly how strong he once was. The problem is convincing everyone else while rebuilding from nothing. He must train relentlessly, outmaneuver enemies who don’t yet know he’s onto them, and transform a broken household into a force capable of surviving what’s coming.
Every regressor has an advantage. But Cecil’s enemies aren’t just strong. They’re many. And they’re already moving.
Can the Mercenary King rise again before history repeats itself? Or will knowing the future be the very thing that destroys him?
