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.

Elena was enjoying what was left of her summer break. But when mysterious disappearances of entire families start moving closer to her home, she has no choice but to transfer to a new school. Only this school is in a realm where all magical beings from all civilizations have, one by one, immigrated to in order to escape the wrath of humankind. A realm Elena knows absolutely nothing about- besides what she learned about in New Mexico history. Practically dumped in a different world, Elena faces many questions, as well as obstacles that get in her way to answering them- such as exactly what she is. But the biggest question that haunts her is why... Meanwhile, things aren't looking good in the Land of Enchantment, as more people are disappearing. And the only way to stop them requires trust- which is in very short supply. Highest ranking: #4 wizardsandwitches
