Matthew's life ended in betrayal—poisoned by his spouse, stabbed in the back by his closest ally, and cast aside by his own children. Death came as a mercy to a shattered man. Then he opens his eyes as an eighteen-year-old again, thirty years younger, with the weight of a destroyed future still crushing his mind. Phantom visions of what was plague his every waking moment, and an inexplicable force awakens within him, burning beneath his skin with purpose he doesn't yet understand. His resurrection demands a cost he never anticipated paying. This second life isn't salvation—it's opportunity. And this time, Matthew won't suffer in silence. This time, he holds all the cards.
