When lifelong friends Carl and Henry marry their high school sweethearts, Jessica and Stephanie, the inseparable couples seem destined for lives of wedded bliss. Soon, though, their respective houses of cards come crashing down as an intricate web of deceit and lies entangles not only their lives - but those of their children as well. As long-hidden truths are suddenly - and shockingly - revealed, the sanctity of marriage is all but assured, and the families are forced to live with the long-term consequences of destructive impulsive decisions...

Equally riveting and disturbing, Covenant Of Lies is a titillating read. In it, author Holly Spence takes four average, everyday individuals with whom readers will easily relate and thrusts them into the middle of self-created storms of turmoil and heartache. Some of the decisions that Carl, Henry, Jessica, and Stephanie ultimately make may be deplorable, but they are no different than the impulse moves made by millions of people all over the world every day. As such, Spence’s tale inspires more empathy than judgmental wrath, ultimately encouraging the reader to think twice before succumbing to the lures of temptation - not to mention the false promises of the flesh.

Timely and eye-opening, Covenant Of Lies is a solid debut from a promising new literary voice.
