Paladins Series 1: In the great kingdom of Vasconia, in the mountain city of Gwenael there is a group of powerful women known as the Paladins who seek to protect their people and their king with gifts given to them by their Lord. Colette Toinette lives far from all of that in a small border town. Though she has a great attitude and big dreams and a plan to join the military and fight for her people. She is going to enlist, no matter what she has to do. Then enemy troops attempt to invade her town and she has to prove her worth to the High Knight Nicolas Sacha in the real heat of combat. Though unwilling to accept her at first, he begins to see something in her that no one else has before, and he believes she is an unknown Paladin. War is on the horizon, and thousands of lives are at stake. Colette has never lost a fight before, she certainly doesn't plan on losing a war. But she has never been in a real batter before. And she has never felt her heart beating the way it does when she looks at Nicolas before. Can she overcome his dark past, and her own trials to protect her kingdom, or will she finally feel the sting of defeat?

When the dragon Jaax receives word that a human infant has been found in the province of Oescienne, he doesn't dare believe it. Humans have been extinct for centuries, trapped by a terrible curse and left to live out their existence in the form of dragons. Despite his doubts, however, Jaax assumes responsibility for the baby girl only to discover that what he has been seeking for so many years has finally been found . . . Jahrra knows all about the legends and sagas of Oescienne, but never in her wildest dreams would she believe that she played a part in one of them. She's far too busy dodging the bullies at school and seeking out new adventures with her friends to worry about what secrets her dragon mentor might be keeping from her, or that her every move is being watched by something living in the forest surrounding her home. But the secrets run deep, and as Jahrra fights to earn her place in this extraordinary world, she will begin to unravel the truth of it all: that she isn't as safe as she thought she was, that danger lurks around every corner, and that her role in this unfurling tale is far more significant than she could possibly imagine.
