In a world not unlike our own, the Realm is protected by men and women known as Spears. For years the Spears have acted as protectors of the people, enforcing the King's justice, and punishing those who would violate the peace. Children, orphaned at birth, are taken to the training grounds to be indoctrinated into the Spears. They are trained, they are loved, and they are taught the law. From the shelter of their barracks the Spears in Flight are protected from evil, or are they.
