"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 tension in Blackmere was palpable as Damien stood in the war room, his steel-gray eyes scanning the map laid out before him. Ambassador Tellen's arrest had been a decisive blow to Calder's network, but Damien knew it was only a matter of time before the coalition regrouped. He could feel the storm brewing, and every move he made had to be calculated to ensure the kingdom's survival.

Amara entered the room with her usual confident stride, her sharp blue eyes glinting with purpose. She tossed a sealed letter onto the table. "Straight from the capital," she said. "Your arrest of Tellen is making waves, and not all of them are in our favor."

Damien frowned, breaking the seal and scanning the contents. The letter detailed the growing unrest among the court nobles, many of whom feared the repercussions of Tellen's removal. Whispers of rebellion and desertion were spreading, and several key nobles were refusing to send reinforcements to the eastern territories.
