"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 victory at Redcrest Pass had given the kingdom a moment of reprieve, but Damien knew it was fleeting. Calder and the coalition had suffered a blow, but they would not retreat for long. The coalition's forces were vast, their resources seemingly endless, and their ambitions unwavering.

As Damien stood on the battlements of Blackmere, the cold wind cutting through his cloak, he allowed himself a moment to reflect. The kingdom's survival hung by a thread, and every decision he made seemed to draw that thread tighter.

Amara joined him, her sharp blue eyes glinting in the moonlight. "You've got that look again," she said lightly, leaning against the stone wall.

"What look?" Damien asked, though his steel-gray eyes didn't leave the horizon.

"The one that says you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders," she replied, her tone teasing but her gaze serious. "You've got people, Damien. Use them."
