In 1919, democracy died. The House of Weissmann seized the throne, turning Central Europe into a feudal empire of magic, slavery, and steel.
Ludwig Samuel is the Crown Prince of Austria-Czechia. He is arrogant, cruel, and burdened with the power to rewind time itself. To the world, he is a god in the making. To himself, he is a prisoner of seconds, bored by a life where he already knows the outcome.
But when a terrorist organization known as the Cult of Monstrum bypasses his foresight with forbidden science, Ludwig faces the one thing he hates most: unpredictability.
Hunted by a brilliant physicist from his past and protected by a sociopathic shadow-assassin who loves him a little too much, Ludwig must tear apart his family's dark history to save his throne.
In a war between Magic and Science, the only thing running out... is time.
