"If somehow you could rewrite your life's greatest sins."

Damien Vryce, a hard-hearted killer, was hanged for tyranny. He found himself awoken one year ahead of his fall. Having recollections from his past, he swore to make amends and save himself from the gallows. In the path of redemption lay treachery, conspiracies under the surface, and an unlikely, but hot love with the unknown woman, Amara Draven.

As Damien sows the seeds of distrust by laying ruin to his past empire of fear, he recognizes that redemption considers the acknowledgement of the sins that have been committed along with the crossing of the line from sin to repentance. An entire kingdom lies in the threshold of war, enemies imbued with greed lurk in the shadows, and the second chance for Damien may well be the last.

Redemption In The Shadows

The silence after the battle was deafening. The fields outside Blackmere were littered with the remnants of Rellen's failed invasion—broken banners, shattered weapons, and the groans of the wounded. Damien stood on the battlements, his steel-gray eyes surveying the aftermath. The sun was setting, casting long shadows over the battlefield, but Damien felt no relief.

Blackmere had held, but at a heavy cost. Soldiers limped through the courtyard, their armor stained with blood and mud. The victory was hard-won, but it wasn't complete. Rellen's forces had been routed, but the man himself had been dragged into the dungeons below Blackmere's fortress, his bitter words still ringing in Damien's ears.

"You're no savior, Damien. You're just a man trying to rewrite a history that won't forgive you."
