"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 ruins of Duskmere loomed ahead, bathed in the eerie glow of the moon. Once a thriving trade city, it was now a shattered husk—a graveyard of forgotten battles and broken promises. The crumbling towers stood like silent sentinels, their jagged edges casting long shadows in the mist.

Damien sat astride his horse, staring at the desolate landscape. The wind carried the faint scent of damp stone and decay, a reminder that this place had long been abandoned.

Lucien Calder was here. Waiting. Watching. Plotting.

Amara reined in beside him, her sharp blue eyes scanning the darkness. "I see why he'd hide here. No one sane would come looking."

Carys, mounted on the other side, tightened her grip on her reins. "It's a tactical nightmare. If he's fortified any part of the ruins, we're walking into an ambush."

Selene, hood drawn over her golden eyes, smirked faintly. "That's exactly what he wants."
