On a field trip to a local pool, Dudley Dursley is hit with an idea brilliant to only those inclined to bully others. It just so happens that his idea has unseen consequences. -Or- In which Harry Potter is lost to the sea.

Trigger warning: Mentions of torture, starvation, suicide, murder, war, religious bodies. It's the end of second year, and Harry is sick of the cruelty and corruption of the wizarding and Muggle world's. Feeling like he has no place in the world, he chooses to end his life in the chamber, rather than facing the hardships of his future. As his life drains away, death appears and makes Harry his reaper, one of four powerful demi-gods that work on earth to fulfill Deaths will. Two years later he is returning to Hogwarts with his compatriots Famine, War and Conquest. The wizarding world will regret turning their back on their saviour. #1 on fourhoursemen 22/7/20

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.
