Sargent Major Williams spent more than half his life roaming the battlefields as a soldier, feeling that had become his only purpose in life... that is until he died on a mission and was reincarnated into a world of swords and magic. After realizing the value of his knowledge from his past life, he realizes this life may have more for him than just constant battles. The only question is, will fate allow it.

The year is 1846. It is neither the beginning, nor the end. Or perhaps, it was the beginning of the end, as it later came to be. The crop has failed again, and death has come to Saol. Aoife is still a child by almost all accounts. A child with only a father, and neither friends nor relatives to call her own. The few there are shun her for a reason unknown to her. She should be unremarkable, but somehow, to the otherwordly beings watching her, she is anything but. History meets the myth in this tale of tears and hope, where bonds of friendship and love are forged against the odds.
