Ian Paige was the most powerful mage in the Greenriver Empire. An 8th-class wizard who slaughtered countless innocents under the orders of Emperor Ragnar, a man he once called a close friend.
Then Ragnar poisoned him.
As the life drained from his body, Ian understood the truth: power without loyalty is a death sentence. With his final breath, he cast the most forbidden spell of all. Time magic.
He wakes up thirty years in the past. Young again. Weak again. But still carrying every memory, every spell, and every regret of his previous life.
Now Ian joins an elite order of mages to rebuild his power from scratch. His enemies are still children. His betrayer still smiles at him like a friend. And the empire still believes he is their loyal servant.
This time, he will not be used. This time, the emperor will pay.
