A white wyrm is dead in the high country, and nobody on BIFROST can say who killed it.

The man who did is two weeks old.

Major Callan Bishop spent fourteen years learning where things fail. Bridges, weapons, men. He found the one gap in a dragon’s skull with his last round, and died in its throat anyway.

THE ADMINISTRATOR offered a second life, without the strength or endurance he’d earned. Bishop wakes as Cal, a newborn in a leatherworker’s cottage beside the Okatcha swamp. He remembers how to build a bridge. He can’t lift his head.

Every mage spends mana. Cal studies it. He opens gates no infant should know exist, and his mother is starting to notice.

Then there’s the Administrator’s admission: Cal arrived early. Someone expected him later.

Cal has survived combat, death, and a dragon.

Now he has to survive childhood.
