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.

"It is an army of one purpose: the destruction of the world of men." It has been a thousand years since the Revealing and the shattered world remains as bitterly divided as ever. Magic, rare and dangerous, rules the battlefield alongside knights in armor. Demons of a forgotten age hunt the darkness. Dragons and monsters stalk the wilderness. In the west, an ancient evil stirs and only a few stand between the world and the brink. At the center of the storm is the Lady Penitent, Holland Cea Trădată, a former servant of the demon lords now caught between a love she can never have and the echoes of an ancient prophecy. More sorcery than woman, she can feel the call of demons in her half-hollow heart. The lines blur, loyalties war, and the whispers of the Deceiver threaten to corrupt her soul...
