"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 road to Eldermere stretched before them, cracked and half-swallowed by the wilderness. Ancient trees loomed on either side of the path, their gnarled branches reaching overhead like skeletal hands, casting shadows against the cold morning light. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and something older—something wrong.

Damien rode at the front, his steel-gray eyes scanning the road ahead. The closer they got, the quieter the world became. No birds, no insects, no wind through the trees. Just silence.

Erynn pulled her cloak tighter as her horse moved beside him. "It shouldn't be this quiet."

Carys, riding just behind them, nodded. "Even abandoned places still have life. This… this is different."

Dante exhaled sharply. "It's dead."

Amara smirked from her saddle, though there was little amusement in it. "That's the problem, isn't it? Dead things shouldn't feel like they're watching."
