"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 journey back to Blackmere was tense, despite the success of dismantling Sorin's network. Damien sat at the head of the column, his steel-gray eyes focused on the horizon. The merchant lord's betrayal had been a severe blow, but it was also a symptom of a much larger disease infecting the kingdom.

The convoy carried Sorin, now in chains, escorted by a contingent of Blackmere's soldiers. Sorin sat silently in the carriage, his once-proud demeanor shattered. The evidence collected in Eldhaven left little room for denial, and his fate was all but sealed.

Amara rode beside Damien, her sharp blue eyes glinting with curiosity. "Sorin's locked up, his network is in ruins, and Calder's losing his foothold. So why do you still look like you've lost a battle?"

Damien's jaw tightened. "Because I'm not naïve enough to think this is over. Sorin was just a pawn. Calder's network stretches far beyond what we've uncovered."
