The Fold of Ash and Iron

When U.S. Army soldier Tyler Craig Kingston volunteers for a classified quantum teleportation experiment, he expects danger-but not the kind that rewrites history. Under the guidance of brilliant physicist Dr. Liza Dubois, a groundbreaking device designed to fold space and eliminate distance instead fractures something far more volatile: time itself.

In an instant, Tyler is torn from 2026 and thrown into West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana-August 3, 1859, just two years before the Civil War. Stranded in a world where slavery is law and freedom is a privilege denied to people who look like him, Tyler must navigate a brutal reality that clashes violently with everything he knows-and everything he is.

Armed with modern combat training, fragmented communication with the present, and knowledge of a future that hasn't happened yet, Tyler faces an impossible choice: stay hidden and survive long enough to find a way home... or step into the fire and challenge a system built on oppression.
But changing the past comes with consequences. Every life he saves, every battle he fights, every idea he plants could reshape the future-or erase it entirely. As whispers of rebellion begin to spread and his presence draws dangerous attention, Tyler must decide what kind of man he truly is: a soldier bound by orders, or a leader willing to risk time itself for justice.
Because in a world where history is already written...
one man out of time may become the story no one was meant to remember.
