About this book

When seventeen-year-old Alex arrives at the Covenant to train as a Sentinel, she's determined to prove that half-bloods are just as capable as their pure-blood peers—even if it means breaking every rule in the book. There's just one tiny problem: she's completely drawn to Aiden, a devastatingly hot pure-blood instructor, and the Covenant has one very strict rule about relationships between them. As Alex navigates intense training, forbidden attraction, and deadly threats from daimons, she realizes that staying alive might require sacrifices far greater than following the rules. This is an addictive blend of paranormal action, slow-burn romance, and teenage rebellion that'll have you rooting for Alex every step of the way.

yearningtensedefiantsensualhaunting

Forbidden tension and slow-burn desire wrapped in dark fantasy. Mix moody indie rock with sensual R&B—think atmospheric guitar, breathy vocals, and building intensity. Ethereal yet dangerous. Tracks that pulse with longing, defiance, and the thrill of breaking rules.
