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.

(COMPLETED) No one knew his real name. No one saw his face. He was a skilled knight in training who always wore a red hooded cloak during the training sessions. So the other knights called him Red Hood, completely oblivious to the fact that he was a woman in disguise. Even though the kingdom of Isalgia has started to accept the concept of female knights, Aurora feels they aren't treated with respect like the men. So she takes up the identity of Red Hood to prove that women can be just as good as men. Her luck picks up when the prince requests her help for a mission to save the king. When the king of Isalgia falls mysteriousely ill, his only son, Prince Isaac, takes it upon himself to find the cure which lies in the Enchanted Forest. He takes four of his most trusted knights with him - including Red Hood - and the five of them must brave deadly creatures and a ruthless enemy that will do anything to make sure they do not succeed.
