"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 crack in the floor widened, jagged fractures splitting through the stone with a deep, resonant groan. The air turned thick, heavy, pressing against their lungs like something unseen was suffocating the room.

Not like the shadows from Winter's Crown.

Not like the hollow creatures of Eldermere.

A voice—many voices, layered atop one another, distant yet suffocating—whispered from the depths.

Damien's grip on the blackened blade tightened. His steel-gray eyes didn't waver as he took a slow step forward, his boots scraping against the cracked stone.

Erynn's silver eyes flickered with something unreadable. "It knows you."

Selene exhaled sharply. "That's not unsettling at all."

Dante muttered, "Can we, for once, find something that doesn't recognize Damien?"
