Nox is a 16 year old girl trapped in an organization built to raise "perfect people" with intentions of selling the best of them off to work for the rich. Being one of these chosen people is a highly esteemed achievement, and in order to produce individuals who are above the rest, the organization is filled with strict rules. Break them, and you'll be sent to the Outside, a barren wasteland where all who've been exiled there have allegedly died of hunger, thirst, or were killed by rogue "Outsiders". When a new rule pushes her limits too far, Nox is forced to make a choice: lose the person she cares about most, or be exiled to the Outside to fend for herself.

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.

Noreena's magic will consume her if she allows it to be set free. She's sure of it. When her mother decrees that Nora's powers will be unbound after graduation, Nora knows she's running out of time. Obsessed with finding a way to remove the 'her' from 'her magic', Nora is oblivious to what's brewing around her. By the time tragedy strikes, it's too late. Thrust into a new world where magic dictates identity, Nora struggles to cling to the normalcy she's always craved. She doesn't want to show anyone why she loathes her powers--why her powers scare her--and why, if they were smart, they would leave her alone. But these people aren't smart. They are even less ready for the truth that her mother had tried to hide for so long: she is the most powerful of them all. #1 in Hex and #1 in BookofShadows 06/17/18 #141 Paranormal 06/28/2018 #908 (outof 300k+ stories!) 04/01/2019 [Wattpad Picks - Up and Coming List - 06.07.2018] Copyright © 2018 by Sasha Leigh All rights reserved.
