Eight years after the Great War, the world is now ruled by four kingdoms. On the surface, there is peace and prosperity. However, nothing is ever what it really seems. Each Emperor seeks power. Each ruler is searching for the key to winning over the others. Each one is looking for the unknown legendary strategist. Oh? And who am I? Don't mind me. I'm just a simple peasant girl. Why would I ever get involved in such boring matters? * * * * * Note: This is my own work, not a translation. Enjoy! (Thank you to MissNoir11 for the awesome cover!)

*Sequel to Paladin* The kingdom of Thule stands on the brink of civil war between two armies -- the Paladins and the Uriel -- each claiming the right to serve as Thule's protector. Once a Paladin trainee, Lady Samantha of Haywood -- Sam -- has been named a traitor to king and country by the Paladins' High Commander, with a bounty set on her head. Only Sam and her friends know what the people of Thule do not: the High Commander is no ordinary man but something more--something evil. The supposed military hero holds a dark alliance with the demons that have ravaged mankind for millennia, commanding them as easily as he does his men. Worse, he can control Braeden, Sam's half-demon lover, through blood magic long thought extinct. Sam and Braeden set sail across the sea in hopes of finding a way to nullify the High Commander's power. But the secrets they uncover reveal Thule faces an even greater threat. They must return to Thule and warn the Uriel...before it's too late.

What if Kota didn't stop Sang from running that first night? Writer's Note: This is just a work of my imagination inspired by the works and characters or author C.L. Stone. I do not own the characters or rights to the story. That being said, the first few paragraphs WILL be straight from C.L. Stone's book Introductions, chapter one, titled "Max". This will be a "what if...?" story branching off of the original beginning so everything starts the same, right up until Max was supposed to run up and knock her down. To read the true works of C.L. Stone please visit her website or look to your e-book distributor for your copy. ***THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE ***

This is a Fan fiction of Ghost Bird series. I have had this in my head for a while and was going to upload it to another website and then the complications started. It is my first fan fiction. I will happily listen to constructive criticism. Sang Sorenson is a werewolf, the only in her family. Her mother and sister think she is a freak and her dad is never around. One night she goes out of her house and meets a boy and his friends. What will happen when Sang finds out who they are, it might even change her life. I don't really know how to describe it.
