The Hunt

The Maze Runner meets Scott Westerfeld in the second novel in this gripping and romantic YA series about teens abducted from Earth by an otherworldly race&;from Megan Shepherd, the acclaimed author of the Madman&;s Daughter series. They&;ve left the cage&;but they&;re not free yet. After their failed escape attempt, Cora, Lucky, and Mali have been demoted to the lowest level of human captives and placed in a safari-themed environment called the Hunt, along with wild animals and other human outcasts. They must serve new Kindred masters&;Cora as a lounge singer, Lucky as an animal wrangler, and Mali as a safari guide&;and follow new rules or face dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, Nok and Rolf have been moved into an enormous dollhouse, observed around the clock by Kindred scientists interested in Nok&;s pregnancy. And Leon, the only one who successfully escaped, has teamed up with villainous Mosca black-market traders. The former inhabitants of the Cage are threatened on all fronts&;and maybe worst of all, one of the Hunt&;s Kindred safari guests begins to play a twisted game of cat and mouse with Cora. Separated and constantly under watch, she and the others must struggle to stay alive, never mind find a way back to each other. When Cassian secretly offers to train Cora to develop her psychic abilities&;to prove the worthiness of humanity in a series of tests called the Gauntlet&;she&;ll have to decide fast if she dares to trust the Kindred who betrayed her, or if she can forge her own way to freedom.
