Ten years of blood. A lifetime of betrayal.

Lucius von Valerius, known as the "Iron Wall," returned from the trenches only to be murdered by his own brother and the wife he adored . But when he opens his eyes, he is eighteen again, back before the war, before the betrayal—and before his friend's assassination .

Determined to dismantle his enemies from within, Lucius seeks out the one person he ignored in his past life: his "sickly" ex-fiancée, Evelina.

But the woman he meets is no longer a dying noblewoman. She is Dr. Evelina, a 31st-century top-tier assassin and scientist who transmigrated into this body with her AI assistant and a knowledge of herbs. It was in her hands how to used them it can either save people or kill them. 

He is a man who knows how the world ends. She is a woman who knows a thousand ways to kill and thousand to save. Together, they aren't just changing the past—they’re preparing for a war the world hasn't even realized has begun.

"I am the sword," Lucius promised. "And I" Evelina smiled, "am the poison"

The northern winds, once biting and cruel, now felt like a gentle caress against Lucius's face as he stood at the edge of the tree line. Behind him, the column of five hundred warriors from the Snow Tribe moved with a synchronized, rhythmic clatter—a sound of shifting iron and steady heartbeats. They were a people born of stone and shadow, led by the formidable Koa, who remained encased in her signature heavy plate armor. To the world, she was the "New Machinery King," a title designed to strike fear into the hearts of those who would dare challenge the sovereignty of the mountain dwellers.
