"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 air in Blackmere had grown heavier in recent days. Though the court was slowly quieting after Verrin's arrest, Damien knew the kingdom's enemies would not remain idle. Calder's allies were still moving, and the intercepted letter detailing a meeting with a foreign power had raised the stakes considerably.

In the war room, Damien stood over the map, his steel-gray eyes scanning the territories surrounding the kingdom. He traced his finger along the eastern border, where the meeting was reported to take place, then tapped the name of a coastal city: Ravengard.

"They're choosing Ravengard for a reason," Damien said, his tone sharp. "It's one of the largest trade hubs in the east. If Calder's allies secure control there, they'll have access to resources, ships, and a direct path to the capital."
