"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 laughter slithered through the throne room, curling around the stone pillars like an invisible serpent. It wasn't just one voice—it was many, layered on top of each other, rising and falling in unnatural harmony.

The torches dimmed, their light burning lower, stretching shadows across the floor.

Varcen—or what remained of him—stood in the center of it all, his eyes dark as the void, his shadow stretching impossibly far behind him, writhing and shifting like a thing alive.

Because in that moment, he understood—

The enemy wasn't coming. It was already here.

Varcen's lips curled into something that might have been a smile, but it wasn't his.

His voice, when he spoke, was not his own.

"You have come far, Lord Protector."

The air in the throne room thickened, pressing against their skin, against their chests.
