A forbidden bond at a school for god-descended teens

After years on the run, Alex returns to the Covenant, where half-mortal students train to fight daimons and pure descendants of gods hold greater power. She must choose between serving the pures and trying to catch up in training. Her work with Aiden, a pure-blood who becomes her trainer, brings a forbidden relationship into a story also shaped by her mother’s murder, the reason for their flight, and a growing threat to the school. The fantasy-romance premise links questions of inherited identity and belonging with dangerous loyalties and the struggle to survive.

Book overview

You will kill the ones you love. It is in your blood, in your fate.

Seventeen-year-old Alex and her mother have spent years on the run from the Covenant, a school where the pure descendants of gods hone their powers and half-mortal teens like Alex train to kill daimons for them. But when her mom is murdered by daimons and she has nobody else to turn to, Alex finds herself back at the Covenant, where she has two options: become a servant for the pures or work twice as hard as everyone else to catch up in her training.

The second option seems like an easy choice, but everything gets complicated when pure-blood Aiden volunteers to be her personal trainer. Because not only is Aiden gorgeous, but he also understands Alex in a way she's never experienced before. Unfortunately, relationships between pures and half-bloods are strictly forbidden.

But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem. As she learns the true reason her mother whisked her away from the Covenant and daimons close in on the school, she must fight to stay alive...even if it's her fault those around her are dropping dead.
