The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods & mortals & the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi & mortals
- well not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt & kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all but especially rule number 1: Relationships between pures & halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately she is crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden is not her biggest problem
- staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant & become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon & being hunted by Aiden. & that would kind of suck.
