Paladin’s Deception

Paladins Deception

Bound by destiny, hunted by darkness.

I never asked to be a Viator—gifted with the powers of the angels and destined to protect humanity from the shadows. I definitely didn’t ask for a mate bond to someone I barely remember. Now, I’m being hunted by the Paladin Order’s ruthless leader, a man who will stop at nothing to control our power.

As I struggle to understand the mysteries of my newfound gifts, an even darker threat looms. The demon-powered leader of the Malum, the one who once held me prisoner, refuses to let me go. He wants me—his bride, his weapon—and he’s willing to destroy anyone who stands in his way.

I’m caught between my desperate need for freedom, the strange pull of the bond I never wanted, and the danger closing in on all sides. If I don’t find the strength to claim my own fate, I risk losing everything—to the forces of light and darkness vying for my soul.

In this world where alliances are tested, bonds are forged, and destinies collide, one question haunts me: will my light burn bright enough to outshine the shadows? If you loved Shadow Spell Academy, you’ll love this action-packed story where Angels and Demons collide.Bound by destiny, hunted by darkness.
