Aldric Valen was a brilliant scientist from a society driven by science and the achievements of its scientists. Aldric spent most of his life searching for the answers to immortality, making considerable contributions to society but never reaching his ultimate goal. After his death, Aldric awakens in the body of a 13-year-old noble, now living in a world ruled by power, hierarchy, and ancient magic. Can he overcome his reliance on facts and science, or will he find a way to combine science and magic into something this world has never seen before? Aldric will do anything for immortality—even if it means stepping on a few people to get there.
