After a year spent repaying a debt owed by his family he can now return home to his princely comforts, but the desires of his heart lie elsewhere. Changing both his appearance and his name Jorem goes in search of a new life. The chance to learn from one of the fiercest fighters ever known is not something to be taken lightly. Surely his training in sword work would give him an edge (good pun, right). So how does he end up flat on his back with a sword to his throat? Can he learn to be a true warrior from a teacher with no patience and anger management issues?When the opportunity comes his way to join the guard Jorem finds reality far different from the glorious dreams of his youth. Friends he has found, some true and some not. Then there are the responsibilities he's not sure he is ready for, royal blood or not.
