The Blood Of A Coward

A year has passed since the siege on the Deskeen Kingdom. The burned side of the castle was rebuilt, the Alluran citizens have been freed from their usurper, and the threat of the Badlands has been terminated.

After being appointed General of the Royal Guard, Alter Ego 'Argo' is bounded to assuring that Alastair, the lone witch girl, doesn't escape the watchful eyes of her new gaurdians, Argo's old friend, Wilson Glints, as she attempts to reform.
Between training the next young knights for combat and conceiling the secret of being an assassin, a secret that only a few trustworthy souls can know about, Alter Ego braces for any challenge that he can face within the city limts.
Yet the city might not be ready to accept the witch girl into their homes. And Argo is challenged by a certain coward who cannot face the truth of a criminal. Faced with a life crime and treachary, Argo is forced to find a way out of it and clear his name.
But living a life of assassionations and watching over the small dysfunctional family he has just might kill him first.
