The Beggar King (The Beggar Chronicles, #2)

Palaces, politics and poison await the hapless You Bugger, a beggar who just wants to be left alone so that he can beg in peace. But with a ruthless warrior-king challenging him, an assassin hunting him and an army deserting him, his days of peace are numbered. He will duel, fight and scheme in order to get away with his head, but this time the odds truly are not in his favour. There is always a way to win, however, provided that you are prepared to pay the cost of victory. And remember... there are fates worse than death...
