The kingdom of Thule stands on the brink of civil war between two armies -- the Paladins and the Uriel -- each claiming the right to serve as Thule's protector. Once a Paladin trainee, Lady Samantha of Haywood -- Sam -- has been named a traitor to king and country by the Paladins' High Commander, with a bounty set on her head.
Only Sam and her friends know what the people of Thule do not: the High Commander is no ordinary man but something more--something evil. The supposed military hero holds a dark alliance with the demons that have ravaged mankind for millennia, commanding them as easily as he does his men. Worse, he can control Braeden, Sam's half-demon lover, through blood magic long thought extinct.
Sam and Braeden set sail across the sea in hopes of finding a way to nullify the High Commander's power. But the secrets they uncover reveal Thule faces an even greater threat. They must return to Thule and warn the Uriel...before it's too late.

Sally Slater is the author of Paladin, a fantasy adventure novel that has garnered over 11 million reads on Wattpad, and now a #1 Amazon bestseller. Paladin is her debut novel and the first of a planned series. You can also find her writing on The Huffington Post.
When she's not writing, Sally is a public relations professional at a financial communications consultancy in New York City. She also dabbles in CrossFit and firmly believes that women in both real life and fiction should be strong.
This review contains spoilers. So if you haven't already read the first few chapters of Uriel, you might want to ignore it.
They held her captive while sentencing Braeden to death
I started reading the series with "Paladin." The story was spellbinding and though it ended, it left a scope for a sequel and readers were looking forward to more of Sam and Braeden.
Then out came Uriel. Just the starting 8 chapters have been released on Wattpad. But I can tell you that the story spinning in the sequel is far more exciting than Paladin also. All of a sudden everything takes a turn. On one side, Braeden is being controlled by his master from around the other corner of the world. On the other hand, Sam's aunt (yes, she has an aunt) has betrayed her and basically, all but laid out a death trap for the both of them. Sally Slater left the story on a cliffhanger.
And now we are left waiting for the rest of the story to come out. Among the thousands of books that I've read, this was among those few extraordinary ones, which make you hold your breath in anticipation of what's to come next. Saying that this story is a thriller, romance novella or historical fantasy, would be an understatement. The series combines the best of mystery, thrillers, action and fantasy, wrapped up in a beautiful cover of romance. All elements surface one after the other, leaving you wanting for more. The characters make you fall in love with them almost immediately. Yet, there is a mystery surrounding each, which you uncover as the story unravels. I'd just say that this series is a must read.
Gosh where to start. Found her first book by accident and now I'm hooked. I know I'm not a book connoisseur but I'd like to think I know I can tell between good author and a bad one. I can not believe her books are not making more headline. Where is her second one! Please finish the 2nd book. If you have I can not find it.
