Re-reading...
One of the things I like most about the series is that the author managed to write a a paranormal that didn't involve vampires, shifters, mythological creatures or immortal hunters. Not that I don't like those too, but it's nice to run across something different.

The plot is action oriented with lots of layers. The Paladins fight and die in secret to protect the invading Others. They have the ability to return to life with proper care - up to a certain point. After that - they will have taken on too much 'otherness' and must be destroyed. Laurel is their Handler - a doctor who attempts to save them: from injury, from death, from sliding into otherness.

Another series where order is important, especially in the later books.
