In 1692, in the Ipswich Colony of Massachusetts, five families with untold¹ power formed a covenant² of silence. One family, lusting³ for more, was banished⁴; its bloodline disappearing without a trace--until now. This thriller⁵ tells the story of the Sons of Ipswich, four young students at the elite⁶ Spencer Academy who are bound by their sacred ancestry⁷.

As descendants of the original families who settled in Ipswich Colony in the 1600s, the boys have all been born with special powers. When the body of a dead student is discovered after a party, secrets begin to unravel⁸ which threaten to break the covenant of silence that has protected their families for hundreds of years.

Cardone.

Bound by their sacred ancestry and sworn to silence, these four teens share a secret so remarkable¹¹ that it has served to protect their families for hundreds of years. The past has a way of coming back when you least expect it though, and when the fifth Son of Ipswich returns seeking to harness the powers denied him in the past, the battle is on to ensure the safety of The Covenant and lay the one descendent¹² who threatens to reveal their secret to rest once and for all.
