When Constantinople burns in 1204, Roman centurion Markos Vatatzes is torn from the only world he’s ever known and wakes in another.
Thrown into Yaegrafane, a land of war, gods, and secrets, Markos fights to survive among clashing duchies and strange powers. Along the way, he meets Helena, a beautiful mage with a dangerous past and a truth that could shake everything he believes.
Haunted by memories of home, caught between duty and destiny, Markos must lead new armies, face ancient monsters, and decide who he really is in a world that calls for heroes—but remembers traitors.
