The King's Own

The King's Own are as feared as they are ruthless, doing all of those hard, and sometimes terrible, things necessary to ensure the safety of the realm. Owing allegiance to the King alone, they are his spies, his assassins, and his advisors. They exist to walk in the shadows, to enforce the King's will, to change the course of entire wars, and to root out dissenters. They live without family, in service to the crown, unknown and unsung. A young man conscripted to fight in a war far away from home. Blood and loss tempered with hope and a vow. Recruited into the King's Own, he must learn quickly to do whatever it takes to serve the kingdom so that others can live their lives in relative peace and safety. But just how far will he go to keep his oath, especially when the King is murdered?
