Awakening within the ruins of an orphanage, Alexander finds himself in chains, sold into slavery. A modern metallurgist thrust into ancient times, watch as he navigates the hand fate has dealt him. He will craft plate armor, invent paper, construct roads, impart governance, and more, striving to carve out a place for himself. But can such achievements go unnoticed?
The naval superpower Cantagena, the unstoppable army of Exolas, the eastern superpower Adhania, the mercantile confederation Sybarsis, the religious zealots Iyizarid, and the ever-present Barbarians of the Barren Forest—all have their own desires. In this sea of sharks, follow a small carp as it strives to leap through the dragon gate and establish a dynasty that will endure beyond them all.
