The required reading order for Record of the Paladins.
The story is one long war told through four lives. You need to read them in order: start with Book of Oliver, then follow the record through Ivon and Ivoire, Anseis, and Turpin.
Each book stands on its own but they all share the same battlefield, the same unseen enemy, and the same God who refuses to stay out of the fight.
Where the record begins. Oliver Donnelley is a small-town pastor with a gift he doesn’t understand, a man who sees pre-shadows and hears whispers the church can’t explain.
When a stranger named Melissa names him for what he is, a Paladin, Oliver is dragged into a world of ghouls, demons, and Vatican black files that say spiritual warfare is not a metaphor, it is a job description.
Two lives pulled toward the same battlefield. Ivon and Ivoire are drawn out of war-torn homelands into a fight they cannot see, where demons hide behind politics, paperwork, and whispered lies.
Their paths cross Oliver’s as the Paladins learn that this war stretches far beyond one town or one chapel, and that some of the deepest wounds are the ones the enemy convinced you to live with.
A brilliant doctor who carries more scars than she lets anyone see. When Anseis steps into the Paladins’ war, she brings a medic’s eye to a battlefield that doesn’t care about triage or clean exits.
As science, faith, and trauma collide, Anseis must decide whether she will stay on the sidelines stitching up other people’s battles, or pick up her own armor and stand where the fire is hottest.
Raised in a town so poor they just call it Cursed, Tabho Elias Turpin grows up with nothing but a Bible, a notebook, and a grandfather who teaches him that God still speaks.
When that voice begins using Turpin as its instrument, he is thrust into the heart of a manufactured revival where false shepherds, demonic deception, and a gospel without a cross are sold as truth. His obedience draws fire from pulpits and powers alike.
