Beschreibung
In this much-anticipated series opener, fate binds two Black teenagers together as they strike a dangerous alliance to hunt down the creature menacing their home-and uncover ancient deadly secrets.

There's no such thing as magic in the broken city of Lkossa, especially for sixteen-year-old Koffi, who holds a power within her that could only be described as magic-a power that if discovered could cost her life. Indentured to the notorious Night Zoo, Koffi knows the fearsome creatures in her care and paying off her family's debts to secure their eventual freedom can be her only focus. But the night those she loves are gravely threatened by the Zoo's cruel master, Koffi finally unleashes the power she doesn't fully understand, upending her life completely.

As the second son of a decorated hero, Ekon is all but destined to become a Son of the Six-an elite warrior-and uphold a family legacy. But on the night of his final rite of passage, Ekon encounters not only the Shetani-a vicious monster that has plagued the city for nearly a century and stalks his nightmares, but Koffi who seems to have the power to ward off the beast. Koffi's power ultimately saves Ekon's life, but his choice to let her flee dooms his hopes of becoming a warrior.

Desperate to redeem himself, Ekon vows to hunt the Shetani and end its reign of terror, but he can't do it alone. Meanwhile, Koffi believes finding the Shetani could also be the key to solving her own problems. Koffi and Ekon form a tentative alliance and together enter the Greater Jungle, a world steeped in wild, frightening magic and untold dangers. The hunt begins. But it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters or the hunted.

Zusammenfassung
HOT HOT HOT ACQUISITION: We won this in a preempt ahead of an eleven or twelve house auction with the power of our team's presentation being the major factor behind our win. This is commercial, pacey fantasy with compelling characters, a slow-burn romance, and incredible magic. Talents like this don't come along every day and Ayana is poised to have an incredible career ahead of her at Penguin. This is going to be the new hit series everyone will be reading and talking about.

FANTASTIC FANTASY: Readers of all the hit YA series will want to pick this up, but especially fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Sabaa Tahir.

STUNNING WORLDBUILDING: Ayana has created a captivating world full of what she describes as full of "monster, mythos, and magic." From the creatures to the magic to the ambiance of the dark, old, and dangerously beautiful jungle, the world here is simply breathtaking.

SLOW-BURNING ROMANCE: The will they/won't they romance between Koffi and Ekon will leave readers anxiously turning pages to see where their relationship goes.

PERFECT PARTNER: Ayana has already been a wonderful contributor doing videos for our digital teams and actively promoting the title and the writing process on her socials. We'd like to continue to use Ayana in all the ways we can leading up to publication. She has also been a PitchWars committee member and mentor for a number of years and is making all the right friends within the industry.

BUILDING ANTICIPATION: We've already been teasing and introducing this book and Ayana online and hope that this early promotion will continue to build leading up to a big splash at publication.
