"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.

Amara lounged in a corner, her sharp blue eyes watching Damien intently.

"They're not talking," Erynn said, breaking the silence. "Whoever this cloaked figure is, they're more afraid of Calder than they are of us."

Damien's steel-gray gaze remained steady. "Fear can be overcome. Loyalty, though—that's harder to break."
