In the mighty Seravonne Empire, power is a game of blood, gold, and magic — and losing means death.

Edran Valerius, the frail and forgotten third prince, is a footnote in the empire’s history, destined to die young in a coup led by his own family. Or so the chronicles would have written… until his soul is replaced by that of a cunning historian from Earth, a man who once specialized in the rise and fall of empires.

Now, armed with forbidden knowledge, ruthless wit, and a growing command over a long-forgotten form of magic, Edran must weave through a court where every smile hides a dagger. Surrounded by scheming siblings, corrupt nobles, and ancient secrets buried beneath the palace stones, he faces a single truth: mercy is weakness, and the throne is taken — never given.

But as his power grows, so does the question…
Will he save the empire from its enemies, or burn it to the ground and build a new one from the ashes?
