"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 ground beneath them shook, deep fractures splitting through the cracked stone streets of Eldermere. Dust rose in thick clouds, curling around the ruins like phantom fingers. The last of the hollow soldiers collapsed, their rusted armor turning to ash in the eerie silence that followed.

Not the low breath of unseen things.

It thrummed through the air, deep and distant, vibrating in Damien's chest like the toll of a funeral bell.

Erynn exhaled sharply, her silver eyes scanning the streets. "That's not an earthquake."

Carys stepped closer to Damien, her sword still drawn. "The seal."

Damien didn't answer. He didn't have to. They all felt it.

The voice that had whispered in his mind—**not human, not anything he could name—had spoken a truth none of them wanted to acknowledge.
