In a small Mississippi courtroom, attorneys Clay Hastings and Sal Tanner achieve an impossible victory for the Choctaw Nation, upholding a sacred, perpetual covenant-the chuka'wa-that safeguards their ancestral lands. But this triumph ignites a firestorm. The local case was merely a prelude, exposing Project Hydra, a ruthless legislative scheme orchestrated by a powerful U.S. Senator, Robert Thurman, to systematically dismantle tribal sovereignty and seize unmeasurable wealth.
Suddenly, Clay and Sal are thrust into a desperate fight for survival. Marked for death and forced to abandon their lives, they go dark in Washington D.C., racing against Thurman's assassins and a ticking legislative clock. Their mission: uncover the evidence to stop the Senator before his "Sovereignty Rider" becomes law, retroactively legalizing his crimes and obliterating the chuka'wa forever.
As they prepare for an unprecedented showdown before the U.S. Supreme Court, they discover that Project Hydra is just the tip of the iceberg, leading them to a global financial conspiracy known as The Zurich Protocol.
The D.C. Covenant is a relentless legal thriller where ancient promises clash with modern political corruption, and two lawyers must risk everything to defend the very soul of the Constitution.
