Paladin

  Author: Sally Slater

 Category: Fantasy

 Status: Completed

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year's crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule's best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she'll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one.But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn't recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he'll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable.Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart?Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

 The story line is amazing. The author did a good job with the plot and it's impossible not to fall in love with headstrong Sam, cool-collected Braeden, who just wants to be seen for more than his origins and Tristan their mentor who at first seems prickly, but eventually warms up to his students. A couple of twists and turns with a villain that would end up shocking you.

   There is a sequel, Uriel, that is still in progress. Generally, this is a good read especially for those that enjoy sword fighting with a bit of demon enemies.
