“…a unique and twisted journey of action, horror, and urban fantasy packed with cool ideas. In a genre where so much feels the same, its a pleasure to encounter a writer who has found a different muse.” –NYT Bestselling Author Christopher Golden
Jovienne thought she was training to be a demon slayer for the church. After her final test, the angels took her and remade her. No one asked her if she wanted to spend eternity killing demons. When she refuses to answer the clarion call to go and face a demon, she is punished by a seraph and realizes she is a slave who will be forced to kill. Not willing to accept this fate, she decides she will find a way to reclaim her freedom. The ancient magic running through her veins might help, if she could learn how to wield it. Luckily, there’s a demon who wants to help her–or is he only helping himself?
Covenant with the Devil #1 of 3
Jovienne wants to be a slayer, but first she’ll have to survive the test.
Orphaned at age nine, divine intervention upgraded Jovienne’s DNA and placed her in training with Andrei, a handsome but haunted recluse who taught her to kill. She excelled at every task, crushing hard and striving to impress him, unaware of his lies.
When her test is at hand, he reveals a partial truth that leaves her reeling. Worse, her demon opponent reads her mind and uses her tragic past and unrequited emotions against her. Unprepared for the non-physical aspects of this fight, Jovienne is overpowered. Desperate and on the cusp of death, her long-suppressed magic resurfaces.
Forced to do terrible things to survive, Jovienne struggles afterward. Without her consent, she’s been remade as an angel. This further enhancement makes her nearly immortal, but she’s bound in holy servitude. Forever.
A possessor demon, having heard she used magic during her test, comes to town and takes an attractive new host. He claims he can help her break her sacred shackles – for a price. Jovienne could have the freedom she craves but obtaining it would prove she’s the monster she fears she’s become.
Heretic’s Penance #2 of 3
Jovienne and Andrei face a new battle – each other.
Andrei has embraced an ultra-religious mindset and sees her magical power as heresy. Jovienne feels so persecuted she leaves home. Still, she worries for his safety. Lucifer might retaliate over what she did to Araxiel. Or hurt Andrei to get to her.
Certain her magic can protect them both, if only she knew how to wield it, she turns to a local occult shop for help. Yearning to build a new life and make new friends, she accepts an invitation to join the shop owners at a gathering. Too late, she learns she has put them all in danger.
Worse, Jovienne’s fears were dead on. In her absence, Andrei has been targeted and the demons make sure he’ll never be the same.
Martyr #3 of 3
Jovienne’s freedom could be within reach, but first she’ll have to risk everything and go to Hell.
A group of demons infiltrate her zone plotting to force her into Lucifer’s service just as her quest to understand her power leads to a shocking discovery that could shake the foundations of modern society.
Her fight for freedom seems possible, but only if she’s willing to face Lucifer—an encounter she may not survive. If she refuses or fails, all of humanity will suffer. Making matters even worse, she needs Andrei’s help and the rift of resentment between them has grown wide.
Trusting him seems as great a risk as facing Lucifer….
