When a soldier who made it home dies saving a stranger, he expects nothing not a second life, and certainly not a title. But the goddess Elyndra Vael has other plans. Reborn as Corin Ashdown, last scion of a barony burned away in the War of Cinders, he’s given one narrow road to reclaim everything his new family lost. He must survive the Imperial Collegium of Aegis and Aether, an academy where steam engines run on runes, muskets spit spell shot, and nobles sharpen their power behind polite smiles. Armed with a storm blessing he shouldn’t have, a soldier’s discipline he can’t explain, and a Merit Charter that can turn grades into land, Corin must outthink old bloodlines, outshoot rich rivals, and outwork a system designed to keep fallen houses on their knees. Because in Aetheria, nobility isn’t taken away it’s forgotten. And he refuses to be forgotten.
