The year is 2021 “The Prophecy” (By Jordan Bryant) takes place inside London, both above and below ground. Society has been firmly split between those who choose to live underground known as "Rodents" in the anarchic world of the Underground postings known as "The Network". However, they have to fight off constant attacks from the organized raiding parties and bandits, who reside above ground. Also, living primarily above ground is “The Collective”, who oppose the Network and are trying to destabilize them from the inside using spies and informants to undermine their operations. Religion plays a major part, with a twisted form of Christianity overwhelming the weak nation of new – world born people. The main character "Lozada" lives at Square One, at a time when the civil war between the Collective and the Network is at its peak. “The Frenzy”, a rogue alliance loosely associated with the Collective Leader, kidnap Lozada and his men, they aim to sell him off as a slave or a bribe in a deal with the Collective. However, the Frenzy’s main intentions are to buy young exuberant scavengers, to maximise chances of locating “The Prophecy”. All assemblages get mention of this Prophecy, an ancient remnant of ancestral knowledge created by “The Masters”; a book that would eventually steer civilisation from a crazy frantic world to a new phase of existence. Lozada and his carefully assigned organization made of him and three other audacious characters swiftly set off to find the book and create a divine group of rational people to prevent the prophecy going into insane minds such as the Frenzy. But as creatures lurk in the shadows and many extreme groups will murder any resistance, an anxious hunt for the so called prophecy begins which will test the boundaries of insanity, power, and corruption…

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.
