"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 sea was littered with wreckage and corpses, the remnants of the brutal clash between Damien's fleet and the Ironclad Alliance. The scent of salt and blood filled the air, mingling with the smoke from burning warships.

The Black Falcon rocked gently on the waves, its deck slick with blood. Soldiers moved through the wreckage, tossing enemy bodies overboard and tending to the wounded. The cries of the injured echoed across the sea, a grim reminder that this battle had come at a cost.

Damien stood at the helm, his steel-gray eyes locked on the horizon. The Ironclad fleet had retreated, but this wasn't a victory.

The enemy was testing them, probing for weaknesses.

And soon, they would come back stronger.

Carys approached, her armor still stained with battle. "We lost four ships. Over a hundred men. If the Ironclad Alliance had sent their full fleet, we would've been overwhelmed."
