The Return of the Prodigious Swordmaster

Yuma spent decades serving Empress Hela Rosé as a eunuch, unable to pursue the swordsmanship for which he had extraordinary talent. When the empress loses her sanity and the empire collapses, his old life ends in disaster. A magical remedy sends him forty years into the past. Now young again, Yuma is determined not to repeat the fate that took away his future. He can finally train as a swordmaster—but strength alone will not explain what happened to Hela Rosé or prevent the imperial catastrophe he remembers. Every change he makes offers hope of saving the empire, along with the danger of creating a new disaster.
