ASSASSINS IN THE REFUGE
A blade is drawn with intent. Kaydee walks a path more ancient than the one his horse trod on in the forest. The prince of Kendi commands the royal guard. It's one of many things about the secluded kingdom, that is different from their neighbours. His uncles had done same before him in order to shield their house. However the ring of mountains on which their kingdom's safety depends, does not shield them from internal strife.
Someone in the palace has caused the attention of foreigners to be drawn to Kendi. Assassins are now crawling all over the kingdom, looking for weaknesses in their defences. They have discovered Kendi's secret and will surely return with thousands more men, if they escape the clutches of the mountain kingdom.
The prince is a blade wildered with an iron will by head the palace guard, his uncle. With the immediate threat seemingly over, they must all find out, how much damage had been done to their lives. Change has come, and there are more dangers for Kendi.
Kendi must face this new world. The prince must become more than a commander, and the man must be more than a blade.
This is the kind of story that allows space for reflection.
