"Imagine Game of Thrones with less blood and more gender confusion and you get a taste of this knightly epic." — The Guardian

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. 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. Disguised as a boy, Sam leaves home behind to fight demons-—the most dangerous monsters in Thule—-alongside the kingdom’s elite warriors. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her–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. Whether he can be trusted is anyone’s guess, including his.

As demons wreak havoc across the land, rebellion stirs in the West, led by a rival faction of warriors.

A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life–or just her heart?

Ok...

In the middle of this book I wanted to favorite it. The story is good, funny, entertaining. Keeps you reading all the way til the end. In fact when that came to be, I actually SAID "Is this the freaking end?!" Yes, even though it is not compulsory, the ending does leave open for a sequel. But it works just fine as a standalone as well, so don't even mind that until you finish reading it.
The thing that made me give this book 4 stars instead of 5, is that in my humble opinion the author left too much of the romance to be said at the end of the book, which made me love the middle of it more than any other part of it. Also, even though I liked Sam's strong personality, sometimes she was just so dumb, saying things that made me want to physically hurt her. :P Ok, maybe that's too much, but she is not wise. That I can say.
All in all I still gave this book 4,5 stars, so I definitely recommend the reading! (: Enjoy!
