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.

They say that home is where the heart is. I guess that means that your home could be with a person too. In my case, it's a group of people. But I've never really had a home. My name is Lyric Young. I'm different than the average person, and not just because of my name. I belong to a group of people. Special people. We may look like you, act like you, and talk like you, but we are not like you. Hell, I don't even think we're considered human. We can do things. Things the normal person can not. We have abilities that set us apart, and make us dangerous to society. And the government knows it. They have a secret organization named Ultra, which hunts us down, killing us, kidnapping us, or taking our abilities away. But we will take them down. And even though I only just learned about all this, I know that we can win this war.
