Covenant

Bodaway Lakota is a faithful follower of the Covenant-and a very skilled assassin. A Naiche warrior he is only sixteen but he has killed many in the name of their cause. He believes he is saving the world from the Reborn but when he meets Natalie Schultz one of the Awakened Reborn he knows he is outclassed in every way. He is given the task of killing her-beheading her like so many others at the hand of his trusty sword. To outsmart Natalie he hides in plain sight. He alters his appearance and his name calling himself Tristan-and she welcomes him into her life and becomes his friend. Despite their friendly fiction however dark events haunt them both and bring them ever closer together. Tristan could never have believed himself capable of feelings for a Reborn but he is drawn to Natalie in spite of himself. Their friendship is forbidden and could cost Tristan his life. He must soon make a horrible choice: will he side with his clan or sacrifice everything for the girl he's supposed to kill?
