However, when they died years ago, things slowly started to crumble. Ashley doesn't know what to expect outside of the only home she's ever known. Now, she's packed and ready to go, because the longer she stays, the higher the chance of her wimping out like a coward and dying a slow and painful death. So when she stumbles upon a group of men, they bring her to Arca; an underground civilization with deep tunnels and cavernous rooms. But, when she arrives, the high council forces her to take an evaluation every 20 year old takes to show where they fit into the community.

Covenant is a contemporary, spiritually rooted coming-of-age novel that follows three young women whose individual journeys of longing, trauma, and healing converge through divine timing and future anointing. Selah, an intuitive and spiritually sensitive only child, has recently become the caretaker of a grand Victorian manor near Forsyth Park in Savannah. As she grows older, repressed memories of sexual trauma begin to manifest in unexpected ways. In response, Selah learns to liberate herself from negative coping mechanisms but not before losing herself to a relationship sent to delay her destiny. Sarahi, shaped by a turbulent upbringing and the loss of her immediate family, has built her life on discipline and endurance. She believes happiness must be earned-through academic pursuit, financial stability, and constant effort. Her strength, while admirable, has become both her armor and her prison, leaving her exhausted and quietly fearful that rest could cost her everything. Sofia, a vibrant mess of contradictions, longs for freedom but struggles to distinguish between escape and true liberation. Her addiction to dopamine leads her to intense and emotionally charged situations that do everything but fill the ache that has plagued her since her glow-up. Though the three women have lived near one another for years, they do not meet until their early twenties, when each arrives separately at Selah's Victorian home on Christmas Eve, drawn in by divine circumstances. What begins as chance proximity quickly deepens into a meaningful sisterhood marked by shared faith, vulnerability, and the growing realization that they are stepping into a calling far greater than themselves.Old coping mechanisms resurface with a demonic vengeance. Faith, once comforting, becomes complex and demanding. Healing does not arrive neatly-it disrupts, exposes, and reshapes them against their will.

People always said I lived in my own world. Honestly? They were right. Reality was boring. Tests hated me. My stepmother hated me more. And every teacher I ever had swore I was "capable but painfully lazy." Hated me too. Whatever. I liked my laptop more than I liked them. I wasn't dumb-just tired. And maybe a little too good at dreaming. My name was Sera Collins, the girl nobody talked to, the girl who never scored above average, the girl with a fire inside her chest that no one recognized because they never bothered to look. I had one friend once. She left. Everyone does. So I walked alone... stubborn, bruised, defiant. And I prayed-just once-that life would give me something different. Something unreal. Something that felt like the stories I loved. Turns out, life has a twisted sense of humor. Because the night I had my accident... I didn't wake up in a hospital bed- I woke up in someone else's body. A boy. A dead boy. Kairus Vaelthorne, the coward of a world I didn't know, whose heart had stopped at the exact moment mine slipped through dimensions. And before I could even scream, I was dragged into his destiny- a warrior academy where students weren't taught to live... they were trained not to die. Dragons, Gryphons, Wyverns, blades, secrets whispered in hallways- and one rival whose stare burned colder than winter steel. Zephyrion Astraveil. The boy who would become my greatest enemy... and the one fate wouldn't let me escape. This isn't the life I chose. But it's the story I got. And gods help me- I'm going to survive it.

Suddenly, Kairen's shadows are acting on their own-escaping his command to pool at Serenya's feet and ease her pain.
