Description

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria “Alex” Andros has spent years hiding from the Covenant—a secret world where the descendants of Greek gods train to fight deadly creatures known as daimons.

As a half-blood, Alex’s future was never truly her own.

Half-bloods are expected to serve the powerful pure-bloods, unless they prove themselves worthy through brutal training and combat. But after her mother is murdered by daimons, Alex is forced to return to the Covenant with nowhere else to go.

Now she has two choices:

Train harder than everyone else and become a Sentinel… or spend the rest of her life as a servant.

Alex refuses to surrender.

But returning to the Covenant means facing dangers far beyond combat training—especially when Aiden St. Delphi, a powerful pure-blood and one of the Covenant’s best fighters, becomes her personal trainer.

Aiden is everything Alex should stay away from.

Relationships between pures and half-bloods are forbidden, and getting too close to him could destroy both of their futures. Yet the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them.

And as daimons begin closing in and long-buried secrets about Alex’s past start surfacing, she realizes her blood may carry a destiny far more dangerous than anyone imagined.

Fast-paced, addictive, and filled with forbidden romance, Half-Blood blends mythology, action, and paranormal tension into a compelling YA fantasy adventure.
