"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

Winter's Crown had found peace, but for Damien, the echoes of war never truly faded. The city streets were bustling once more, filled with merchants, scholars, and families rebuilding what had been lost. The people called it The Era of Renewal, but Damien knew better—peace was never permanent. It was something that had to be guarded.

And he was the one who had to guard it.

Standing atop the palace battlements, Damien watched the sunrise paint the sky in shades of crimson and gold. His steel-gray eyes flickered with thought. He should have felt relief, maybe even satisfaction. Instead, he felt… restless.

The war had shaped him, turned him into a weapon forged through fire and blood. Now, with no more battles to fight, he found himself searching for purpose beyond war.

Damien smirked without turning. "You always sneak up on me, Amara."
