"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 halls of Winter's Crown felt colder than usual as Damien made his way to the council chamber. The recent victory at Black Hollow had brought a momentary sense of triumph, but the shadow of Ambassador Tellen loomed large. Calder's foreign backer was not just a diplomat—he was a strategist, and his machinations had already seeped deep into the kingdom's politics.

Lady Erynn met him at the chamber doors, her silver eyes sharp. "The court is unsettled," she said quietly. "Tellen's involvement is no longer a secret, and the nobles are divided on how to proceed. Some believe removing him will provoke a war we cannot win."

Damien's steel-gray gaze hardened. "War is already at our doorstep, Erynn. If we hesitate, we'll lose the chance to stop him before he strengthens Calder's forces."

She nodded, her lips pressing into a thin line. "Then you'll need more than the king's support. The court must be convinced that this is the only course of action."
