The Keepers of the King's Peace

A band of lawkeepers and their associates navigate threats from a charismatic local cult leader whose claims of invulnerability place civilians and officials in peril; episodes range from daring rescues and tense confrontations to investigative pursuits that test courage and resourcefulness. The plot moves episodically through encounters with superstition, political intrigue, and violence while characters wrestle with questions of authority, loyalty, and moral responsibility. Action is tempered by occasional humour and by moments that probe the uneasy interactions between imposed order and local beliefs.
