Beschreibung

Blood of the Covenant: A Gripping Tale of Vengeance and Redemption. In the heart of the wild Cape of Good Hope,1653, a saga of love, betrayal, and retribution unfolds in Blood of the Covenant, the electrifying third instalment of C.M. O'Neill's Cape of Storms Trilogy. Seventeen years after Danielle Van Aard's disappearance-presumed dead after a brutal assault on her wedding night-she thrives as a fierce healer in the African wilderness, guarding a shattering secret: her son, Davit, raised to believe Sebastiaan De Vries is his father. Meanwhile, Sebastiaan, hardened by a relentless quest to find her, returns to a corrupt Cape settlement only to clash with the ruthless Alain Du Bois, a slave trader consumed by vengeance for his slain son. As Sebastiaan's daring raids on slave ships ignite tensions, his path converges with young Davit, whose thirst for adventure unwittingly draws deadly attention. When betrayal lands Sebastiaan in the Castle's brutal Dark Hole, Du Bois unveils a chilling plan: to kill Davit as retribution, unaware of the boy's true lineage. With time running out, Sebastiaan faces an agonizing choice-reveal a truth that could save Davit but destroy Danielle, or protect the love he's fought for across decades of bloodshed. From daring sea raids to a heart-wrenching reunion, Blood of the Covenant weaves a tapestry of enduring love, searing vengeance, and unbreakable family bonds. As secrets unravel and Orion's own hidden past ignites a final reckoning, the Cape becomes a battleground for justice and redemption. Will Danielle, Sebastiaan, and Davit forge a future from the ashes of their past, or will the cost of truth tear them apart?
