Reborn a Serf, Sworn to Revolution

Alexander was a chemistry student who believed in his country, his Church and his war. He died on the front, far from the place he was told would be safe.

He wakes up as a newborn in a serf family's cottage, in an empire that looks a lot like nineteenth-century Russia. The difference is that here, magic is real. Nobles learn it, the Church heals with it, and a blacksmith's runes keep the adventurers alive. Nobody teaches it to serfs.

Alexander still remembers everything: the war, the chemistry, the faith that cracked. Now he has a whole life ahead of him to figure out how this world works, and what he is going to do about it.
