The Covenant Chronicles fuses Covenant of Silence and Covenant of Retribution into a single, chronologic story in three exciting parts. This new edition will appeal to both new readers and those who have already enjoyed either or both of the books. Part I - The Covenant of Stema assembles the historic chapters of the original book, beginning in 500 BC and lays the foundation for a pulsating mystery set in the present day. Part II - The Covenant of Silence - opens with a double murder and introduces forensic police officer Cally Boyce, who sets out to solve the murders but uncovers a religious sect that will stop at nothing to protect a secret dating back to the beginning of time. Part III - The Covenant of Retribution -- continues the story from the explosive outcome of Part II and lead the investigation to the Middle East in search of the truth. As the covenant of silence is unravels, an ancient manuscript and a sixth century bible provides clues to the solution. Time is running out, but when the silence ends, retribution can begin."
