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.

"Alright I have a wager, you raise these two half demons as your own and I will cover up your trail and make sure the Vatican never finds out what you did. However if they become a threat I will kill them myself. Do you accept?" "Don't you remember? You made a deal with me the day you picked up those miserable mutts and adopted them as sons. I couldn't decide which out of the two of us had won or lost... They are very human, in such demon nature they defy to loose their humanity. But they are very demon, no denying the blue flames of Satan. Even still a deal is a deal, and I've decided to do what I please with your promised soul. I've brought you back, highly illegal; but you and I have defied the law before I don't think it matters now. I sort of expect a thank you, I could have left you in the hands of my father." Who's this strange 'Shadow' person helping on all the missions, skills of a Paladin, and leaving a trail of his own blood behind? Sequel to: Diary of a Father. ((Please read))
