Stellen died saving four strangers. He expected that to be the end. Instead, something was waiting for him in the dark. Wounded and barely able to stand, a being wreathed in stormlight asks Stellen a single question before placing a hand against his face. Then Stellen sees the impossible. One future becomes three. Three become ten. Ten become more than his mind can follow. And then he is born again. His new name is Lucan Valtyr, a prince of a powerful royal house in a world of Magic, Aura, monsters, ancient religions, and kingdoms whose peace is far less permanent than it appears. Lucan has no System. No convenient memories of this world. No inherited mastery from his previous life. What he does have is a second childhood, a family that slowly becomes his own, and the chance to build the life he kept postponing the first time around. And the Eyes. Whatever touched Lucan between lives left something impossible behind. Eyes capable of perceiving things others cannot and, eventually, glimpsing the futures that might come next. But power meant for something greater than a human soul was never going to be safe. Lucan doesn't know who gave him the Eyes. He doesn't know why that being was dying. He doesn't know why the storm froze for seven breaths when he was born. For now, he's a child with an enormous world ahead of him. He intends to see all of it. Because in his first life, Stellen kept waiting for living to begin. Lucan Valtyr won't make that mistake twice.
