"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.

Amara smirked faintly from her place leaning against the wall. "Loyalty or fear? My money's on the latter."
