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.

It is 417 AD and two children are growing up in the shadow of the crumbling Roman empire. They are on opposing sides of the war to control Britannia's future, torn between the old way of life and the new one. Only one of them can win the war, but can they both survive it? Dai is resigned to a life of poverty in the slums of Londinium, like his father and grandfather before him. When the king's men come knocking at his door, demanding his service, everyone is baffled. He is fed and clothed and educated to the highest standard, and he knows there must be a price to pay ... he just doesn't know what it could possibly be. Bria is a princess of the Silures tribe. She has chosen an engagement with a prince in exile, but until the time comes for him to come home and take his kingdom, she must pretend otherwise. She inserts herself into the heart of the enemy's court, hoping to take them down from within. The stakes are high, for one slip of the tongue could mean the destruction of her entire tribe.
