I've died thirty-one times.
Lived as a mage, a soldier, a vampire, a politician, and at least one life I'm not allowed to remember. Each time, I carved my memories into my soul, died, and rolled the dice on coming back.
This time I woke up as an elf named Cyrus Ashford in a frozen village with three hundred starving people, an empire that wants us dead, and a fiancée who's been waiting for me since we were kids. No pressure.
Now I'm building crossbows from scrap metal, running a goat-based economy, teaching guerrilla warfare to farmers, and trying not to get murdered by the three-thousand-soldier army arriving in spring. Oh, and a fox-eared girl with fire magic and zero concept of personal boundaries has declared herself wife number two.
I've got thirty-one lifetimes of experience. I'm going to need every single one.
