Luca Moretti, a 30-year-old Italian civil engineer specializing in earthquake-resistant infrastructure, dies in a bridge collapse during a humanitarian mission in Nepal. He awakens as Lord Aldric de Valois, the disgraced third son of a French-inspired noble house in the fractured medieval kingdom of Valenor, a land teetering on the brink of collapse. Armed with 21st-century engineering prowess and haunted by his failure to prevent disaster, Aldric must navigate feudal politics, church dogma, and a magic system tied to the land itself to rebuild Valenor—without repeating the sins of his past.
