Harrison didn't die in battle; he died in the dark, feeling the cold steel of blades forged by his own blacksmiths. The empire he built on a foundation of blood and absolute loyalty executionally severed his head from his shoulders because his brilliance became their greatest terror. They thought burying the legendary warlord would secure their peace, but Harrison wakes up in the mud, trapped in the bruised, malnourished body of Collins, a conscripted grunt for the very nation he spent a decade trying to erase. Stripped of his legendary stature but armed with a lifetime of unmatched military strategy and burning malice, Harrison must survive the brutal meat-grinder of the front lines from the bottom up. His former army, now led by the treacherous generals who tore his life away, is marching toward total dominion. To destroy them, Harrison has to master the art of the inside game, weaponizing his new identity to infiltrate, undermine, and utterly dismantle his own legacy from the shadows before his new body betrays him first.
