"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

Lucien Calder lay dead at Damien's feet, his blood staining the frozen stones of Ravenspire. The storm had passed, but its echoes still lingered.

For years, the Calder brothers had threatened the kingdom. First Calder, with his brutal war. Then Lucien, with his cunning deception.

Damien exhaled, his steel-gray eyes fixed on the lifeless body before him.

It should have felt like victory.

Carys stood nearby, wiping her sword clean. "We need to clear the fortress. Make sure none of Lucien's men escape."

Damien nodded. "Take the soldiers. Secure the stronghold. Kill anyone who resists."

Carys gave a sharp nod before turning to rally their forces.

Amara crouched beside Lucien's body, nudging him with the toe of her boot. "He put up a decent fight." She looked up at Damien with a smirk. "But not good enough."
