The Akoroth Covenant

When developer bulldozers desecrate the sacred stone mounds of the Wahora Nation, they crack open not just the earth, but an ancient treaty with a slumbering cosmic entity. Weeks later, at 40,000 feet, a zealot unleashes a sentient plague aboard Skyline Air Flight 197, trapping a jaded ex-Marshal, a conflicted pilot of hidden heritage, and a politician complicit in the land grab. As the living virus feeds on broken promises, a jurisdictional void—echoing the landmark "Wahora v. New Albion" decision—erupts between federal, state, and tribal authorities. To survive, the flight crew must navigate a nightmare where the only law that matters was written before mankind, and the true contagion is the betrayal of old morality under the guise of progress.
