Sixteen-year-old indentured beastkeeper Koffi and seventeen-year-old warrior candidate Ekon forge an unusual alliance and venture into the Greater Jungle to hunt down a monster that has been menacing their city for a century. - Penguin Putnam
In this blockbuster fantasy series, perfect for fans of Firekeeperâs Daughter and Iron Widow, fate binds two Black teenagers together as they journey into a magical jungle to hunt down a vicious monster.
âRich in magic and mythos, Beasts of Prey is a feast for all the senses.â âRenée Ahdieh, New York Times bestselling author of The Beautiful
An Instant New York Times and Indie Bestseller
Thereâs no such thing as magic in the broken city of Lkossa, especially for sixteen-year-old Koffi, who indentured to the notorious Night Zoo, 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 Zooâs cruel master, Koffi unleashes a power she doesnât 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 Sixâan elite warriorâand uphold a family legacy. But on the night of his final rite of passage, Ekon encounters not only the Shetaniâa vicious monster that has plagued the city for nearly a century and stalks his nightmaresâbut Koffi who seems to have the power to ward off the beast. Koffiâs power ultimately saves Ekon, 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 canât do it alone. 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.
âThe hunt for your next YA fantasy book trilogy obsession has ended.â âEntertainment Weekly
