Cast Out by Blood, Revered by the Realm

Noah Wyndham is set up by his half-brother and humiliated in front of the city gate, leaving him shamed before the whole court. Empress Emilia Chapman, unable to bear his public disgrace, ends their engagement, and his father disowns him in turn. What none of them realize is that the man they discarded now houses the mind of a brilliant scholar with two doctorates, arriving from the twenty-first century. Noah must rebuild his fortunes from the bottom while the realm that rejected him begins to take notice.
