"Say, Officer. If one day, those who held us by our necks finally made every deviant thing a crime, what will you be guilty of?" When Aaric Cross gets reassigned into Eastchapel City Police's Crime Investigation Department, he never realized how much of the actual job he missed just from his uncle, Alberth's continuous protection over him for the past years of his police career. Being deprived to carry out immensely life-threatening pursuits, a detective at present could be likened to a sloth with nothing to do save from watching other departments carry out the Tag Chase-the government's directive and focus of the police force to pursue people reported to display behaviour that indicates threats to a certain person or an entity, especially those who hold seats in the government. One of the vigilantes in this chase is a woman behind the sobriquet, Scarlet Foxtrot, who recently made name across the city for breaking into government officials' offices but leaving no traces and even motives. No one figured out how to catch her which made her rise through the ranks having the most sought-after head until she started signing her visit and later on, murder, of one police officer. Aaric soon finds himself entangled in a web of long-running corruption, oppression, and sex slavery within the city that he was never given the chance to hear before. All of which happens just by trying to uncover the mysteries that surround Rue, a woman who always appeared to be related to each succeeding Scarlet Foxtrot murder case.# *** "It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong." ―Voltaire, The Age of Louis XIV SCARLET BLOOD IS THE FIRST SEASON OF ALEPH

Granted, he was kind of a jerk and if he ever tried to kiss Eli again he was definitely getting punched. A story about a starving college student, making a living serving coffee and the local vigilante with a crush. - - - - - - - - - Highest rank #1 in Action, Wattys 2016 winner in the Trailblazers category!

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.
