About Back from the Grave to Save the Empire
Emperor Cedric Ashford built an empire. Then someone poisoned him at his own coronation ceremony. Fifty years later, he wakes up—in the body of Dorian, his adopted great-grandson. His actual grandson now sits on the throne, but the empire Cedric bled for is falling apart. Corrupt ministers. Traitors in court. The Northmen circling like wolves. But the Ashford blood doesn't run. While Dorian fights to save Valdris from enemies within and without, he's got one burning question—who killed him? And why?
