It was the 24th Century. Rules had been set down. The law was iron. The world was now known as Pan. There were the Surs, the wealthy high-class citizens who were allowed to have as many children as they wanted, and own as much land as they could buy. They lived in beautiful neighbourhoods with flourishing trees, emerald green grass, and sparkling water. It was utopia. There were the Pes, the rest of the population, forced to scrabble on the ground, grovel and beg, fight and kill for their lives. They starved to death, died of sicknesses and were left to rot. They lived in ruins, broken structures, in darkness. It was dystopia. Until the Creators came. They rose to power, a poor group from Pes, battling their way to the top. They took control of the government and in the height of their fame; released a virus that wiped out the whole of the human population. Only not quite. Those who remained of the Surs died out in the streets, unable to survive in the harsh conditions. Those who remained of the Pes formed gangs, making violence the answer. For ten long years Pan was chaos. Until now. The Creators have resurfaced and offer a city of dreams to all who have survived. For young William, a man of sixteen, the last Surs citizen in all of Pan, it may be his only hope. But how can he forgive the people who took everything away from him, swallow his pride, and take their sanctuary?

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.

"But once you start noticing something----especially someone---- it’s not as easy to just go back to life before." He was that kid in the back you didn't know existed except when the teacher did roll call. He was that kid that got shoved into in the hallways. He was the kid that sat alone because he was a freak. He was that kid that was different. Yet what I saw was a broken lonely boy, barely there and almost gone. I didn't know why I noticed him when no one else did. I didn't know why I couldn't stop thinking about him. I didn't know why I wanted to save him so badly. I just knew that he was hurting. And I wanted to make him smile.
