Woken by the crack of artillery, Jack Harper isn't in his 21st-century college dorm anymore.He's Alexander von Riedhoff-Ostwald—a German army captain, bloodied and disoriented, on the Eastern Front of 1916. The Great War grinds on: Russian forces press from the east, the Western Front is a trench-bound meatgrinder, Britain's naval blockade starves Berlin, and the German Empire teeters on collapse. Worse, Alexander carries a curse no other soldier has—memories of the future. He knows exactly how this ends: defeat, the crippling Treaty of Versailles, and decades of darkness that will tear his new homeland apart.This time, he won't let it happen.Armed with foresight, Alexander must navigate a labyrinth of chaos: outmaneuvering incompetent generals, lobbying the Kaiser's stubborn staff, and shoring up a home front fraying with hunger and unrest. He'll broker secret alliances, rewrite battle strategies, and fight to save a nation that doesn't yet know it needs saving. But he's no perfect hero—every choice cuts deep: loyalty to his uniform wars with guilt over lives lost, and fear nags that even his best efforts can't outrun the Great War's fury.As the guns roar louder and the empire's leaders cling to failed tactics, Alexander faces a brutal truth: history doesn't give second chances easily. Can he turn the tide for the German Empire… or will he be buried under the same ruins he's trying to prevent?A gripping tale of war, fate, and one man's fight to rewrite a nation's destiny—set against the mud, blood, and hope of the Great War.
