The Samurai and Shinobi, warriors of Light and Shadow, and the heart and soul of Han'ei. Two warriors, Hirohito, a member of the Shinobi, and Hiromasa, a member of the Samurai. Both clans strive to retain balance in the lands of Han'ei, to protect it and it's denizens from the neighboring nations that seek it's precious and beautiful resources. The Samurai are the blazing sun, that push back the incurring forces that seek to conquer their lands. The Shinobi are their shadows, seeking to behead the heads of the snakes that are their foes, and serve as their unseen eyes, ears, and daggers. However at the end of a Civil War, waged by a local and renowned Warlord, the balance these warriors strive to retain becomes as fragile as an old tapestry. One side shall abandon their duty to their nation, following another, and only Hirohito, and Hiromasa can restore the​ order usurped by chaos. My first fresh story for Wattpad. As some of you may have figured, it will be inspired by Japanese themes and culture. Hope y'all enjoy.

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.
