The Covenant Chronicles
Preface
Redemption
No one really knows how The Power came to be. Not even the book of Damnation recorded its beginning. Each family has its own chronicle recording the history of The Covenant but the pages containing the most valuable information has gotten lost over the years.
Those who have mastered The Power have always been hunted. In the middle of the 17th Century, many escaped the brutal witch-hunting in England and France by coming to America, but there was no escaping a group of people as ancient and as powerful as the witches they were after. The Hunters.
As the brutal persecution of those with The Power spread throughout Massachusetts, the Winthrop's, the Danvers', the Parry's the Garwin's, the Simms, and the Putnam's formed a Covenant of Silence. And for 300 years it has kept them safe.
Until now.
In 1692, when the six families from the Ipswich Colony of Massachusetts formed The Covenant of Silence that would forever protect their remarkable powers, one family went too far. As a result of their transgression they were forever banished from the land. An ancient secret threatens to unleash the powers of darkness when the sole survivor of a cursed bloodline is prophesied to return to lay claim to the powers denied to him centuries ago.
Bound by their sacred ancestry and sworn to silence, the remaining five families that shared the remarkable Power were left to serve to protect their families for hundreds of years not only against The Hunters but against one of their ow; Over the years in recent generations the sixth family ceased to be a threat to The Covenant.
The past has a way of coming back when you least expect it though. When the sixth Son of Ipswich returns seeking acceptance back into The Covenant his ancestors denied him from, it quickly becomes evident when he falls for The Daughter of Ipswich that the wheels have been put in motion and his ancestors have other plans for him...and her.
The battle is on to ensure the safety of The Covenant and lay the one descendant who threatens to reveal their secret to rest once and for all. But is the sixth Son Of Ipswich the only one The Covenant should really be worried about? Or is there a greater evil lying just around the corner...Or under the surface.
