As the two are guided out of the dead city by Fade's long-ago memories, they face dangers, and feelings, unlike any they've ever known.
When she and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been destroyed by Freaks, who seem to be growing more organized, the elders refuse to listen to their warnings and exile Deuce and Fade. When the mysterious boy becomes her partner, Deuce's troubles are just beginning. She's worked toward this goal her whole life, and nothing's going to stop her, not even a beautiful, brooding Hunter named Fade. Ann Aguirre is the author of the New York Times- and USA Today- bestselling Razorland series ( Enclave, Outpost, and Horde ) the Immortal Game series ( Mortal Danger, Public Enemies, and Infinite Risk ), and the novel The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things. Deuce has wanted to be a Huntress for as long as she can remember.Īs a Huntress, her purpose is clear - to brave the dangerous tunnels outside the enclave and bring back meat to feed the group while evading ferocious monsters known as Freaks. By that point, each unnamed "brat" has trained into one of three groups - Breeders, Builders, or Hunters, identifiable by the number of scars they bear on their arms. “Deuce's passion for life, even in her bleakest moments, is contagious, and that passion exemplifies the nebulous force that has driven all of these individuals to persist in the face of awful options.In Deuce's world, people earn the right to a name only if they survive their first fifteen years. This is a tense, action-packed dystopia with intriguingly gray characters.” - Booklist
“Aguirre's young adult debut is a gripping survival story set in an apocalyptic future. “This well-paced zombie-esque adventure in an urban wasteland will keep fans happy.” - Kirkus Reviews With some graphic and gross imagery and a hard look at a post-apocalyptic world, Aguirre has taken themes from Scott Westerfeld and an assortment of zombie literature and created something that is very much her own-and a very engaging read.” - RT Book Reviews

This series is likely to hold considerable appeal for fans of The Hunger Games.” - Publishers Weekly “In her first young adult novel, Aguirre (the Sirantha Jax series) has created a gritty and highly competent heroine, an equally deadly sidekick/love interest, and a fascinating if unpleasant civilization. To say we're excited is a major understatement.”.
