Reborn in Ruins

A battle-hardened soldier awakens in the broken body of a fourteen-year-old boy, his sixty years of war-forged experience trapped in a frail, unfamiliar form. With his new family facing ruin and a rigged duel leaving him crippled, he has mere hours before debt collectors seize their home and the Academy muster demands his presence. Desperate for an edge, he makes a chilling pact with an ancient, sentient blade that demands his very memories as payment for power. As dawn breaks and enemies gather outside, he must decide how much of his past he's willing to sacrifice to survive the present. Can a lifetime of combat wisdom overcome a body that betrays him, or will the cost of survival be too high?
