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.

Murder a supernatural and you will score yourself a one way ticket to the underworld. The Furies exist to escort you there, and escort means kill without mercy. They are judge, jury, and executioner, but it doesn't end there. Hades waits on the other side ready to dole out any punishment he sees fit. But what happens when a Fury doesn't want to unleash her inner fury? Refuse the call to kill thirteen times in a row and you'll find yourself at the mercy of the Prince of Darkness himself. Cha is up to number twelve and Hades is here with a warning. Do her duty, or give up the last of her humanity for a life in the shadows.

Look at the title. Two sentence horror stories! Thrilling right?
