About the Covenant series
Covenant is Jennifer L. Armentrout's breakout young-adult series, set in a modern world where the descendants of Greek gods — Purebloods and Half-Bloods — train in secret "Covenants" to fight rogue immortals called daimons. Alex, a rebellious Half-Blood, is forced back into Covenant training and into the orbit of Aiden, her forbidden Pureblood instructor, while a prophecy about a Half-Blood who can become an Apollyon — a being with the power of a god — puts her at the center of a war she never wanted. It's fast, romance-forward urban fantasy with a love triangle, godly politics, and a body count.
Published between 2011 and 2013, the five-book series (plus two connecting novellas) was Armentrout's first major hit and established the template — intense forbidden romance layered over supernatural mythology — that she'd repeat across Lux, Wicked, and Blood and Ash. The world continues in the spin-off Titan series, set a generation later.
How to read this series
Read in publication order: Daimon (prequel novella, optional but sets up Alex's mother's death), Half-Blood, Pure, Deity, Elixir (novella, Aiden's POV of events overlapping the main books), Apollyon, Sentinel. After finishing the series, Titan is a direct spin-off set with a new generation of characters in the same world, recommended as a follow-up rather than a prerequisite.
