"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 war was over, but the work had only just begun. The fires of battle had been extinguished, yet their scars remained—on the land, on the people, and in Damien's own heart.

Standing on the balcony of the palace, Damien overlooked Winter's Crown as dawn's first light painted the sky. The city, once filled with the echoes of war, was slowly coming back to life. Merchants reopened their stalls, blacksmiths reforged weapons into farming tools, and families who had spent months in fear were beginning to laugh again.

But despite the outward signs of peace, Damien knew that true stability was still far off. Calder's war had broken the kingdom in ways that swords and strategy alone couldn't fix.

The royal council chamber was fuller than it had been in months. Damien sat at the head of the long table, surrounded by the kingdom's most powerful figures—Lady Erynn, Carys, Amara, and several high-ranking nobles who had remained loyal during the war.
