The House of Covenant is set among a federation of planets somewhere in space and somewhere in time. The Federation is held together and maintained in peace through the power of a blood covenant. Captain Jared Tricantor and his Executive Officer, Nalen Pal, operate a Merchant Marine star freighter named the Fidelis, and within this ship they travel throughout the Covenant Planets. Seeking only prosperity and professional advancement in their predictable lives they find themselves suddenly at the center of an interplanetary war. The breaking of the Covenant, through murder and genocide, brings a brutal end to millennia of peace among the Covenant Planets and millions of lives hang in the balance.
Nalen Pal especially is thrown into circumstances far beyond his ability to control as he is pulled into a reality he could never have imagined or prevented. His wife, Su-In, her royal family, and Alephot Lituri hold the ancient secret as to why the Covenant was broken, how it can be restored, and the duty of vengeance should reconciliation fail.
Blood is thicker than milk.
