Her family was slaughtered. Her heart demands justice.
But God asks her to forgive the man who killed them.

Jael is a skilled midwife—but inside, she’s barely breathing. After Lamanite forces murder her family, she buries her grief behind a wall of duty. Then the unthinkable happens: Xaman, the commander who gave the order to kill her family, walks into her city claiming he’s changed. A convert. A man of peace. A believer.

As Jael watches his transformation unfold, she faces the unrelenting whisper of God’s call to forgive. But forgiveness isn’t easy—and grace always costs something. If she lets go of the past, will she lose the last pieces of herself?

He killed in the name of duty. Now, he fights for redemption.

Xaman once led armies and conquered cities—but nothing prepared him for the shame of his past or the pain of repentance. Now, among the peaceful Anti-Nephi-Lehies, he must prove his heart has changed—to a people who still see a murderer. Especially Jael.

As ancient hatreds rise and war threatens the fragile peace, two broken hearts must decide if love can bloom where blood was once spilled.

Making Covenants is a sweeping, heart-wrenching drama set in the world of the Book of Mormon—perfect for readers who love historical fiction, enemies-to-lovers tension, and stories of hard-won grace.
