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.

I'm Valencia, the Krenoviantz' participant for the Indulgence Games. I have a family, the Krenoviantz. We always keep our city safe and organized. Until one day, Krestome, our team leader, got killed. But before he passed away, he made me promise to still be able to compete, and possibly win, the Indulgence Games without him training me. So I went to a training school and didn't give up. There, was the first time I felt love outside the Krenoviantz. Love that I'd never felt before. Then I play hard as the game started even if there were sudden changes to the mechanics of the game that I'd never encountered. But hey, I'm fighting for our city, my family, and for everyone else. The award I'm about to receive if I win will be for the good of everyone and not like most champions that spend them for their own leisure. Join me in this action-packed, mind-blowing, mystical adventure and discover how I, the weakest member of the family, compete in the world's most awaited and challenging game.

Unbeknownst to us, we had already made contact, but did not know what we were looking at. Planet earth was inhabited many years before humans came into existence.
