"Paladin" by "Sally Slater"





Guys, check out this one. I bet, you'll love it. A genre of fantasy and adventure, with an incredible expression that'll pull you straight into the thrilling plotting and fixating your senses in all concentration to the story. You watched the movie "the brave" right. I reckon, it was interesting. Haha, can you believe...the characters of this story "Paladin" summoned the figures of same countenance to my fancies, as the one you find commendable in that movie. The reason i believe, is because both stories initiate in the same manner i-e a lady of royal class who classifies more as to fascinate and be: the boldness of a knight and fight, than playing a Damsel in distress; and indulge in matrimonial urgencies. So it was hard reading the story in beginning with animated characters, for i rejoice more at the realism. So, i replaced the roles with the anthropoid movie actors; thus matter sorted, and joy turned two-folds. The read became more interesting now.

Aye, let me tell you dears..."paladin" means "a knight of renowned heroism and chivalry". As the story puts it, the paladins must mentor their trainees, who are chosen by the consequent contest of candidates from the north, the south, and east, and the west. All, the rich or the poor, are allowed to take part in the contest. Nay, not all ...the daughter of the duke of haywood "Miss Samantha" was not allowed. Hahaha, so here comes the sub-theme of gender-bender (the one i used to quite enjoy in the far-east movies). She take part in the contest as "Sam" a lad, and wao! wins it through. Aish! and of all paladins, must she be trained by "Tristan Lyons" a handsome, and a whilrwind and gallantry man; who was the reason of why she was where she was. The day he saved her was the last day she was ever weak. The very next day she picked up the sword. 

The inhabiting demons in the human world; that is what the paladins, their superiors, and the trainees fight against. They are the 'defending force' against the cruel plottings of demons. ...Much is yet to come in the story. A twist of half-demon as a trainee ...and whatelse!

Pick it up as your next read and you won't regret ;) .
Cheers!
