When history's worst atrocity becomes a weapon, one soldier chooses mutiny instead of orders.
Colonel Elias Thomas has spent his career believing he served with honor. Then a single night of classified files reveals the truth about his own stolen childhood, and forty-eight hours later, his own government hands him the blueprint for finishing what began generations before he was born.
Elias doesn't salute. He mutinies.
Stealing a machine built to observe history rather than change it, Elias and a handful of Indigenous operators vanish into the nineteenth century, arriving in the dead of a Canadian winter outside the doors of a residential school. What they find inside will turn a quiet extraction mission into a war that spans a continent, and turn six soldiers into the architects of a resistance no empire ever saw coming.
Armed with tactics no century has encountered and driven by a debt only they can pay, Elias's scattered cells wage a shadow war against colonial power on both sides of a border that hasn't finished being drawn, liberating schools, severing supply lines, and forcing two governments to reckon with a truth they built their whole future on burying.
But war changes the people who fight it. As victories mount and losses cut deeper, Elias and his team must decide how much of themselves they're willing to spend to build a future worth having, and whether the empire they're fighting can ever truly be made to answer for what it's done.
SAVAGES is a sweeping alternate history that asks what one act of conscience, multiplied across a continent, might actually cost, and what it might finally be worth.
