Despised by all, Kieran's reign of cruelty ends when he's betrayed and poisoned. Not a single soul mourns his death.
But fate has other plans. Awakening a year before his demise, Kieran is given a second chance. Will he defy the chains of his past to carve a new path, or is he doomed to repeat the sins that led to his downfall?
