fate binds two Black teenagers together as they journey into a magical jungle to hunt down the
vicious monster who is threatening their home. But as they begin to uncover ancient deadly
secrets it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters…or the hunted. 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.
