Paladin's Grace

When Your God Dies, What Do You Do Next?

Stephen's god died on the longest day of the year, three years ago. Sundered by the death of the god he served, the paladin has been drifting ever since - a warrior without a purpose, trying to find meaning in a world that no longer makes sense.

A Perfumer, A Paladin, and a Murder Mystery

Grace is a perfumer trying to solve the mystery of her friend's murder. When she witnesses an assassination attempt and Stephen saves her life, she finds herself tangled up with a berserker paladin who is equal parts dangerous and honorable.

Together, they must navigate a conspiracy that threatens the kingdom, while Stephen struggles with his growing feelings for Grace and the question of whether a man who once served a god of righteousness can find redemption - and love.
