Earth is the first planet to have survived a war with Hunters and still have their element crystals intact. Fifty years have passed since the death of the Element Guardians and nobody knows where the crystals are. Though the realm still possesses the chance of new Guardians appearing, things have looked grim for the last fifty years - and as a result, all hope is lost. Terra turns fifteen within the next five full moons. Like every human left on the planet, she is a slave – the server girl to Hunters from day till night, only allowed a few hours of sleep. Survival was all she focused on, until her grandmother's life is taken by the cruel treatment of the Hunters. Now, Terra wants revenge. But what can a small girl like Terra do to a whole race of a ruthless alien species? She’s just one human girl, no magic, no nothing, just like three other adolescents who want nothing more than to restore human kind and the mortal realm. They have absolutely no power over the Hunters. Right?

She's the daughter of Megatron. She's a fighting prodigy. She hates the Decepticons for the murder of her mother. And she's falling in love with WheelJack. What could possibly go wrong? Well, besides everything, her father could punish or kill her if he knew about her visits to the Autobots. If WheelJack ever turned his back on her she'd be devastated . . . and then there's Blade, who risked her own neck to help Vapor out and is staying on Nemesis of her own free will. Things just get better every day.

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.
