If you are a fan of romantasy and mythology, this series is the perfect intersection of the two for YA readers aged 13+.
In the world of Covenant, you are either human, a demi-god or a god. While the gods live a lavish life, demi-gods must work for the gods, capturing and killing dangerous daimons for them. In this brutal world, our half-blood protagonist Alex will have to prove her strength, fall in love, discover her own secret powers and, most importantly, try to stay alive.
We should flag that as the series progresses, some of the books may feature spicy scenes. We recommend readers aged 16+ for them.
The books are enticing and packed full of action, so there is never a dull moment – and if you're sad when you've finished them, no fear! Jennifer L. Armentrout has another equally brilliant YA series called Harbinger.
