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.

{COMPLETED} The stars disappeared seventeen years ago. A black night sky has mirrored a bleak existence for the people of Auros. The Gifted, humans with unique abilities to affect the world around them, have all but become extinct thanks to the dark reign of a usurper. And somehow Zephyr Elvy has managed to live her nineteen years in the blissful quiet of a small town next to the sea. Zephyr has always been content to keep to herself, and happy to live a simple, if uneventful, life. If only the universe had that in mind for her. Forced to flee the only place she has ever called home, Zephyr finds herself running through a world she has only ever read about, along with two soldiers who have deserted their posts to keep their consciences clean. With only a letter and a mysterious weapon as clues to why she's being hunted, Zephyr must face her own fears while discovering a whole new world of terrors at the hands of a queen she knows next to nothing about. Having never risked anything her entire life, Zephyr is forced to choose between apathy or action, hiding and keeping to herself, as she has always done, or taking a leap that could change the world she is just now getting to see. ***** Thank you SO MUCH for reading! I'm updating every Monday until this story is done, and I've been sitting on this one for almost three years so I'm really excited to finish it! I don't have any beta readers for this as I write, so please let me know if you notice anything, and I mean ANYTHING, that needs fixing! :)

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Conner Kressley! Bell Watkins lives in a world of leprechauns, fairies, and witches, on paper at least. As inspiration for the lead character in his grandfather's wildly successful book series, fifteen year old Bell spends his days dodging paparazzi, gorging himself on pizza, and complaining to his best friend Kara about his lack of a girlfriend. When he's attacked by a strange creature in an alley and saved by a cute girl who appears from the mist however,things start to take a turn for the strange. The boy soon learns that the world of his grandfather's books is very real, and so is his place in it. Bell is a Mistrunner, a mystical being with amazing powers who's tasked with keeping the world safe from the things that go bump in the night. When the attacks keep coming, Bell and the cute girl from the alley must find a way to keep him safe, get to the bottom of just who it is that wants him dead, and deal with that pesky bird that just wont stop following him around. As if his plate wasn't full enough, Bell also has to learn to navigate through the dos and don'ts of the Mistrunner world, a list that includes such helpful tidbits as: - Never text while floating. - Leprechauns are not as cuddly as cereal commercials would lead you to believe. - And, no matter how hot a selkie looks in a bikini, remember she's still a seal underneath.
