Summary:
"Lkossa was once a city of magic and splendor. Now, a hundred years after the Rupture scarred the sky and devastated the land and its people, magic is no more than a myth. Until one night when Koffi, an indentured beastkeeper at the infamous Night Zoo, unexpectedly unleashes a dangerous, untamed power that has been secretly brewing within her for years. She sets into motion a chilling sequence of events that not only upends her whole world but also links her to a complicated stranger with secrets of his own. As a warrior-in-training for the elite Sons of the Six, Ekon's task is to stop Koffi in her attempt to flee the Night Zoo. Instead, she saves him from the Shetani--the monster that has plagued Lkossa for nearly a century and stalked Ekon's nightmares. Following their chance encounter with the beast, Koffi and Ekon--each with a hidden agenda--strike a tentative bargain, teaming up to capture the Shetani as a hoped-for solution to their dire circumstances. To do so, they must enter the Greater Jungle, a world steeped in wild, frightening magic and untold dangers. But once the hunt begins, it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters or the hunted."-- Provided by publisher.
