Blue Swords
Imagine if the medieval times had police officers. Now they do, the BLUE SWORDS.The year is 1411; Jep, a wandering peasant, has journeyed to the south in hope to break free from poverty. On arriving at the vibrant town of Stanford, Jep witnesses what he perceives to be a brutal crime and bravely intervenes.

Jep will need to battle his self-doubt to discover the truth behind the corruption that plagues the town, and his fellow Blue Swords.
