PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Oct. 31, 2026 — RichPlaceMediaGroupLLC today announced THE BREAKING DARK, a dark fantasy novel by author Emilio Ricci and Book One of The Covenant of Five, a planned seven-book series. THE BREAKING DARK is available now on Amazon in Kindle edition for $3.99 and in paperback for $16.99 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HNDWCXQW), and the Kindle edition is free to read with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
Five teenage witches hold the balance of the world in their hands — Aria, bound to Air; Phoenix, to Fire; Emma Shaw, to Earth; Chloe Vance, to Water; and Aeolus, the wind witch, the covenant’s early warning and its beating heart. Eight days before prom, Aeolus is murdered — struck down first, at 3:33 in the morning, precisely because he was the one who would have seen the killer
coming. With the circle broken and the seats of the covenant beginning to refill, the four who remain have eight days to find what killed their friend before it finishes what it started — and before whatever is hunting them learns that a broken covenant is easier to break forever.
THE BREAKING DARK is the opening volume of a series that grows up with its characters, maturing from young adult fantasy into adult dark fantasy across seven books. Book Two, THE DARK COVENANT, is scheduled for release on January 19, 2027.
“I grew up on stories where the kids with the power are also the kids with the problem,” said Emilio Ricci. “The Covenant of Five is about five teenagers who are the only thing standing between the world and the dark — and about what it costs them to stay standing. The wind witch dies first because he was the warning. The whole series is about what happens after the warning is gone.”
THE BREAKING DARK (The Covenant of Five, Book One) by Emilio Ricci is available now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HNDWCXQW — Kindle edition $3.99, paperback $16.99, and free to read with Kindle Unlimited.
