"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 Winter's Crown carried the weight of impending war. Damien's forces had struck a devastating blow against Calder's supply lines, but the victory had come at a cost. Calder had anticipated the attack, and though his resources were dwindling, he still commanded a dangerous force.

Damien stood on the balcony overlooking the city, his steel-gray eyes fixed on the distant horizon. The fires from the battle in the Scarlet Highlands still lingered in his mind, a reminder that Calder was far from defeated. The enemy was cornered—but a cornered beast was always the most dangerous.

Footsteps sounded behind him. He didn't turn. "What is it, Amara?"

Amara leaned against the railing beside him, her sharp blue eyes scanning the skyline. "You look like you're brooding again."

Damien smirked faintly. "Just thinking."

"That's dangerous," she quipped. "You usually think right before you do something reckless."
