Theodore Valtioras was feared as a vessel of a forgotten god's blood - divine power long mistaken for demonic corruption. Branded a threat to the world, he was hunted... and killed by the man he trusted most: Lucien Mivaldras - knight of the Sacred Order, loyal, righteous... and the one who drove the blade into Theodore's heart. But death was not the end. Through divine will or cosmic error, Theodore awakens in his own past, years before his death - with all his memories intact. Now, in a world that still fears what he is, Theodore must navigate old dangers with new knowledge. But the greatest danger of all is Lucien - not yet the man who betrayed him, but already impossibly close, unbearably kind, and heartbreakingly unaware of the fate that binds them. Theodore knows what must happen. Lucien will kill him. Unless something changes. Theodore knows how this story ends: with a blade, and with Lucien's hand on the hilt. But this time, he's not ready to die - and Lucien isn't yet a killer. Not unless fate makes him one.
