This is a story about people that choose to fight that cruelty. Europe, Fifteenth Century. Demons are invading the land, the violence and uncertainty only grow, and authorities are too busy defending themselves, hiding... or chasing innocents... small groups of wanderers, adventurers and vagabonds, rise to battle the menace the nobody else does: hunting the demons. This is their hunt.

Forging of a Knight by hvalnegron

The beginning of the Forging of a Knight series! (A 2013 Eric Hoffer Award Finalist!) A battle against the forces of Those That Stand in Shadow brings an end to an old hero and a beginning for a new one. Together with a half-orcne thief named Glaive, a young warrior named Qualtan must battle through undead hordes, shape-shifting maugs, hungry trolls, and more on his journey to become a knight. Along the way, he learns the world isnt as simple as he first thought. Good and evil are not always what they seem, close friends can be deadly enemies, and loyalty can sometimes be rewarded with treachery. Even if Qualtan can grow from these lessons, a greater one will need to be faced: can an unexpected friendship with a thief of orcne blood, despised by all, support his chance for knighthood, or ruin it altogether?

Revenge and blood have made Yuna Gaedal flee the safety of her Queendom walls to hunt down her parents' killer. But this princess will learn that killing isn't as pretty or simple as she initially thought. To Shu Salson the Sword Saints were heroes of epic proportions and he has dreamed to become one of them. While traveling to the whereabouts of his estranged father he comes across one of the Sword Saints and this makes him ecstatic, but soon he realizes they are nothing like he expected. The lives of these three are threaded by the invisible yarn of Fate. Spinning a tale of courage, love, revenge and tough sacrifices, Book 1 of The Swordsman Saga is a novel that catalogs a series of catastrophes and the lengths one must go to save their country and their world.

Paladin by SallySlater

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.

Silver Blades: Dread Handed by Marc_Morrell

Suffering from the inability to become inebriated has left Riposte Clasicant more cantankerous than usual. The body count is rising, and Pertuli isn't the only one who wonders if Rip's condition is more serious than an unusual curse; with dire results. In Silver Blades novellas, we follow the adventures of an elven swordsman who has neglected duty and honor in recent decades. Often, his peers seek restitution for this debauchery in blood. Only superior skill with a blade and a single-minded devotion to finding his lost love has kept Rip alive thus far. Pertuli, his sarcastic but well-meaning sidekick, is not always sure he is on the right side. Silver Blades: Dread Handed takes place after the events in Silver Blades: Prize Fight. Praise for Silver Blades: Dread Handed: "I love [Riposte]. He is officially my favorite Wattpad character. (and you can quote me on that)" - @avadel ----- "... well crafted and packed with tension." - @KellyJBurke ----- "Well done, my friend!" - @OrinBattlehammer -----
