Half-Blood

Covenant #1 / 5
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Half-Blood (Covenant #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
★ 10.00 / 1

The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure-bloods have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and 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 #1:

Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.

Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem - staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

Jennifer L. Armentrout

Jennifer L. Armentrout

Jennifer L. Armentrout has become one of the most recognizable voices in modern fantasy romance, known for weaving together dangerous worlds, heart-racing romance, and heroines who refuse to stay silent. Her stories rarely follow a straight path, love is tangled with betrayal, destiny collides with defiance, and the line between gods and mortals is never as clear as it seems.

She grew up in West Virginia, where her habit of scribbling stories during math class turned into the foundation of a career that would reach readers across the world. What began as a teenage escape soon grew into an expansive body of work spanning paranormal thrillers, contemporary romance, young adult fantasy, and her internationally bestselling romantasy series Blood and Ash.

Armentrout’s writing stands out for its immediacy, sharp dialogue, characters who feel startlingly real, and worlds that balance raw intimacy with sweeping stakes. She often explores themes of identity, power, and choice, asking how far someone will go when love and survival are at odds. Her work has earned recognition not just from bestseller lists but also from readers who find in her stories a space where vulnerability and strength coexist.

Away from the page, she is open about her own journey, including living with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that impacts her vision. Her willingness to share her experiences has only deepened the connection between her and her audience, many of whom see her as both a storyteller and an advocate.

With dozens of novels published, from the Lux and Covenant series to contemporary favorites and her recent expansion of the Flesh and Fire prequels, Armentrout continues to write at a pace as relentless as her plots. Her books invite readers into worlds of passion and peril, where every choice carries weight and every secret has the power to change everything.
