After dying of old age, a man awakens in the body of Elias Vandrelis, the cruel, despised third son of a powerful noble house. Born to a lowly maid and abandoned by his father, Elias grew up mistreated by his stepmothers and siblings, returning the abuse tenfold to those beneath him.

Now, with the soul of a weary old man behind his eyes, Elias must navigate the bitter legacy of a life he never lived, surrounded by enemies, haunted by the past, and hunted by those who seek vengeance.

In a world where magic intertwines with steel and technology hums beneath cobbled streets, redemption is no simple task. Trust is rare, danger is constant, and forgiveness might be further away than salvation itself.

To survive, he must do more than atone.
He must transform.
But some sins aren’t easily forgiven…
And some monsters still wear human faces.

Even so, perhaps even lilies can bloom in fire...
