The Mortician's Second Chance

Yaroslav thought his second life would be a quiet one. After dying as a field surgeon in a war-torn world, he's reborn with his memories intact and a unique, terrifying power: he's a Mender, a low-rank healer who can reverse death itself - once. Now running a back-alley clinic under the guise of a mortician, his only goal is to avoid the tragic fate he remembers from his past life. But his peace is shattered by a delivery: a near-dead girl, Zima, the fiery last scion of a fallen noble house on a doomed quest for revenge. She's the catalyst for the very apocalypse he’s trying to prevent. Every time he saves her, he feels the world's balance fray a little more. Forced to join her quest, Yaroslav uses his past knowledge to guide her from the shadows, all while dealing with her reckless tactics and the affections of her cheerful, bird-brained guardian spirit. But the closer they get to her target, the more Yaroslav realizes the history he remembers is a lie. Who is truly pulling the strings of fate?
