Vincent Sinclair, an aspiring scientist-to-be, is the victim of a kidnapping attempt on his father. After losing his life in 1977, when he was only 20 years old, he is reincarnated as Oliver Hudcalon, a newborn. Following his rebirth, he soon realises that there is something different in this new medieval world, something that defies everything he has believed in - magic.
As he sets out on a journey to discover the boundaries of this world and the magic itself, he notices that three human nations are in a kind of power struggle. Something he knows very well the consequences of, something akin to a Cold War.
