Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy progression fantasy where the protagonist is genuinely skilled but has to rebuild from scratch in unfamiliar circumstances.
  • You like stories that blend historical settings with magic systems, especially ones that feel grounded and detailed rather than whimsical.
  • You appreciate morally grey characters who aren't heroes but still step up when it matters, especially if they're clever enough to outsmart their way through problems.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a straightforward hero's journey with clear good versus evil lines and characters you immediately root for.
  • You prefer fast-paced action with minimal worldbuilding or explanation of how magic actually works.
  • You're looking for romance as a central plot thread rather than a secondary element to a larger stakes story.

About this book

A sorcerer with a dark reputation—known as a warlock and shapeshifter—agrees to help an old friend in crisis, even as the world faces collapse. His attempt to aid them through a unique ritual backfires, sending him further into the past than intended and into an alternate history: the Russian Empire in 1909. Stranded in this unfamiliar world, he finds himself in the body of a skinny teenage boy with no friends, allies, money, or title. The land is ruled by aristocrats with powerful magical talents, and Breaches in reality unleash evil spirits, ghouls, and monsters into the streets of St. Petersburg. To survive and return home, he must regain his former abilities and learn new ones. But his mission extends beyond escape—he still has a job to complete: saving his own world.
