"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 mist clung to Damien's skin like cold fingers, thick and suffocating as he stepped onto the shore. The ruins of the Dead Isles stretched before them, crumbling towers and shattered bridges rising from the blackened stone. No wind blew, no birds called, and the ocean itself seemed unnaturally still. The silence was wrong. Too deep. Too consuming. As if sound itself had been swallowed.

Carys disembarked behind him, boots crunching against gravel as she scanned the ruins with a wary gaze. "This place is cursed," she muttered. "You can feel it in the air."

Erynn knelt beside a broken pillar, running her gloved fingers across the faded carvings etched into the stone. The symbols were unlike anything Damien had ever seen—twisting, interwoven patterns that seemed to shift under the dim light. "This wasn't built by any kingdom we know," she murmured. "This is older."

Selene exhaled sharply. "Older than what?"
