En el mundo de Trébol, un enclave subterráneo, los habitantes se ganan el derecho a tener un nombre sólo si sobreviven hasta los 15 años. En ese momento, cada joven debe unirse a uno de los tres grupos: Criadores, Constructores o Cazadores.
Trébol se ha convertido en Cazadora y, como tal, tiene una misión: aventurarse en los peligrosos túneles que rodean el enclave y conseguir comida para el grupo, enfrentándose para ello a unos feroces monstruos llamados Engendros. Sin embargo, éstos han comenzado a dar muestras de una escalofriante inteligencia… La balanza en la lucha por la supervivencia dará un vuelco y Trébol descubrirá los intricados secretos que aguardan fuera del enclave.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this skilled though violent postapocalyptic thriller, Deuce has newly earned the rank of Huntress, after years of training have taught her to "wield a knife or a club with equal proficiency." It's her duty to provide meat for her loveless, draconian enclave, deep beneath the streets of a ruined city, as well as to defend it against cannibalistic Freaks, who are gradually eliminating the scattered human survivors of a vaguely remembered plague. Deuce's is a world of terrifying encounters in near-complete darkness, but she's very good at what she does. Then Deuce stands up for a friend unfairly accused of hoarding and, accompanied only by her talented but unpopular partner, Fade, is soon exiled with little chance of survival either in the lightless and dangerous sewers or Topside. 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. This series is likely to hold considerable appeal for fans of The Hunger Games. Ages 12 up.
