After the traumatic events at Kresnik, Skye is thrown into a new adventure at Sangre Institute, a supernatural high school located in Vampyria. Here is where she must complete her final assignment, in order to graduate from Kresnik Academy. Just like all the Sentries before her, she must to convince the Paladin Ministry she can hide in plain sight, posing as a Wiccan Realmist. To help hide her identity, agents from the Ministry provide her with a talisman.

Her success would lead to her first posting in another Realm.

Along the way she meets some new friends, but still reeling from the memories of her kidnapping at Kresnik, she finds herself suspicious of everyone’s motives. Thankfully, she has her best friend Rose at the school with her as a pilot project for the Paladin Ministry.

All too soon, events at the school make her question who or what she is and where she truly belongs. She can’t help but wonder if she will ever find out what happened to her dad, and what it has to do with the Order. She finds herself questioning how her new friends could possibly fit into her life as a Sentry. Most of all, she wonders how close she should allow herself to get to one person in particular.

How close is too close?

Assignment is the second book in Paladin Beginnings, a Young Adult series. It ends in a cliffhanger. There are currently at least four books planned in this series.
