Paris, 1940. Beneath the thunder of Nazi boots, Julian Vance awakens in the body of a failed SOE agent trapped in a nest of vipers. As the son-in-law of Arthur de Molay—the ruthless Director of the Milice—Julian should have been prey. Instead, he carries a secret from the future: an artificial intelligence system called EDITH, embedded directly into his optic nerves. With the ability to read enemy thought patterns (Dialysis Mode) and scan classified documents through solid walls, Julian begins a deadly chess match against his own wife, Adelaide, the ice-cold head of the Milice’s signal unit. By day, he is the weak, bookish son-in-law no one fears. By night, he is a ghost dismantling Gestapo strategies from within. From the Nanjing m******e to London’s hidden gold conspiracies, Julian must choose: betray his traitorous family—or let Paris burn. In a world where thoughts are no longer private, can this “Lancelot” survive without losing his soul?
