After dying in the most absurd way imaginable, thirty-year-old Rowan wakes up as an 18-year-old butler-in-training in the enigmatic Celestarchate Empire. With a vow to live quietly this time, he keeps to the shadows, perfecting the art of being invisible. But when a simple errand inside the palace spirals into something far more dangerous, Rowan finds himself entangled in secrets, schemes, and an identity that was never meant to be his. The empire whispers of an assassin in the dark-but Rowan just wanted to serve the wine.
