"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 council chamber remained silent, the weight of Damien's words hanging over the gathered nobles like a blade waiting to drop. The flickering torches cast jagged shadows across the high stone walls, illuminating the tight expressions and wary glances exchanged between the lords.

Varcen sat stiffly in his chair, his lips pressed into a thin line, but Damien saw the tightening of his jaw, the subtle shift in his posture. He had expected a fight, perhaps even an argument. But instead, he was calculating.

King Aldric's eyes darkened. "You claim the Silent Order attacked the Archives to bury knowledge of this… first seal." His voice was measured, but Damien could hear the undercurrent of doubt. "And yet, we have no records of such a thing existing."

Damien's steel-gray eyes flicked across the room. "Of course, we don't. Because every record was removed."
