"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 western frontier of the kingdom stretched endlessly before Damien as he stood atop a rocky outcrop, the wind tugging at his cloak. Below, his soldiers were assembling, their armor glinting in the pale morning light. The urgency in the messenger's warning had brought them here—reports of coordinated raids and an unsettling presence of foreign mercenaries demanded immediate action.

Damien's steel-gray eyes scanned the horizon, lingering on the dark line of forest that marked the border. He could feel the tension among his troops, a charged silence as they prepared for the confrontation that lay ahead.

Amara approached, her sharp blue eyes glinting as she adjusted the straps of her light armor. "Scouts report movement just beyond the tree line," she said. "Could be raiders, could be something bigger. Either way, they're not trying very hard to hide."

"They want us to see them," Damien said, his tone cold. "They're testing our resolve."
