Making Covenants

Her heart demands justice. God asks her to forgive.

Jael's life as a gifted midwife lies shattered after Lamanite forces slaughter her family. While she continues to bring new life into the world, her own heart remains frozen in grief. When Xaman - the commander who ordered the attack - appears in her city as a converted believer, Jael's carefully constructed walls begin to crack. As she witnesses his transformation and genuine remorse, she faces an impossible choice: cling to her pain like a shield, or open herself to the terrifying possibility of forgiveness. But grace comes with its own price, and Jael must decide if her healing is worth the cost of vulnerability.

As a respected military commander, Xaman never questioned his duty-until the day he killed Jael's family on the battlefield. Now a convert to Christianity, he must prove his faith to a people who remember him only as their enemy-including Jael. As he struggles to rebuild his life among the peaceful Anti-Nephi-Lehies, ancient hatreds threaten to destroy the fragile peace. With war looming and hearts divided, Jael and Xaman must decide if love can bloom in soil watered by tears.
