She trained for years to achieve her dreams. She’s strong, fierce and most of all, a hard worker. CHARACTERSįirst up, Sam! I’m going to be honest and say that I absolutely love her. It may captivate you until you lose track of everything around you. So watch out when you’re reading this book. Only I kept reading and wasn’t paying attention to the heat, as I was sitting in a tiny pool – so you don’t feel that you’re burning at all. I was reading this while lying in the sun and tanning. So much happened in this novel! It was an action-packed ride, and it kept me clustered to my tablet until I finished. But it was so much more! It involves an epic journey on horseback, confronting your demons – both literally and figuratively– facing the truth and challenging your beliefs. I would have loved this book if it was just a story on Sam training to become a Paladin in their fort.

Only it’s not the first time they have met.

And that is where Paladin Tristan Lyons comes in. You need an actual Paladin to train you, sort of like a mentor. She has trained hard for years, and it’s time to go find her destiny. It has always been her dream to become a Paladin, an elite group of warriors who fight demons. I can honestly say that this book did not disappoint! STORY I liked the synopsis, and as you all may know, I love fantasy. Reviewįirst of all, I want to thank the author, Sally Slater, for contacting me and letting me review her book. “Who are you to tell me what I want?”įriends didn’t eat friends, even if they were a little deranged. “I have always known my own mind,” she said. Whether he can be trusted is anyone’s guess, including his.

Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. He hasn’t recognized her–yet–but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. Disguised as a boy, Sam leaves home behind to fight demons-the most dangerous monsters in Thule-alongside the kingdom’s elite warriors. 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. 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. Synopsis: Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam of Haywood is the most promising Paladin trainee in the kingdom of Thule… and knows it. This does not affect my opinion in any way. I received this book for free from the author -THANK YOU! -in exchange for an honest review.
