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.

#105 in Sci-Fi EARTH IS NOTHING MORE BUT A WORLD THAT USED TO EXIST. Hexeria is what it is called now. No more forests. No more wide oceans. No more animals. Just us, and the remaining of the human beings. The humans which my species are hunting down. I, in all form, is against this. But how can one Project stop the army of "Enchanced" and the controller of the HexTech Prime? I need help. We all do. Long ago, Earth was about to face its end when an alien army planned to conquer it, but they did not succeed because of the modernization of technology, because of us. We were created to serve and protect humanity at all cost, even if it means sacrificing our lives. Yes, we have defeated the foreign beings, but another conflict rose when our system malfunctioned. And the butchery began then. The humans we once protected, died by our hands. I unknowingly got myself out of the system. Not knowing how, not knowing why. Now I must continue my sole purpose even if it means defying everyone I once worked with. For the sake of humanity's survival, I am ready to die.
