"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 war room in Blackmere was unusually quiet. The fire crackled softly in the hearth, casting flickering shadows over the maps and documents strewn across the table. Damien stood at the head of the room, his steel-gray eyes scanning the letter from the foreign envoy for the third time. The message was clear: the kingdom's enemies were no longer confined to its borders.

"They're probing us," Damien said, breaking the silence. "Testing how far they can push before we respond. This isn't just a warning—it's a declaration of intent."

Amara leaned against the wall, her sharp blue eyes narrowing as she regarded him. "They're watching us fight among ourselves and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. It's smart. Annoyingly smart."

Carys, seated at the table with a stack of reports, frowned. "This envoy isn't acting alone. A warning like this means they're already laying the groundwork. Spies, alliances, supply lines—they're preparing."
