Ethan Veil is a twenty-eight-year-old fusion researcher from Chicago who wakes up in the dying days of the Western Roman Empire as a slave with an iron collar around his neck. Lean, sharp-eyed, and marked by a burned scar where the collar once cut into his skin, Ethan carries the presence of a man who has already survived death once. He is not a traditional hero.

Where others see barbarian raids, plague, and famine, Ethan sees broken infrastructure waiting to be rebuilt. Cold, precise, and brutally honest, Ethan becomes dangerous not because he wants power, but because he understands how power is actually made.
