After their failed escape attempt (The Cage), Cora, Lucky, and Mali must work in The Hunt, a safari-themed environment run by their Kindred (alien) captors. Cora hopes to save humanity by running The Gauntlet; Cassian, a Kindred who may be ally or betrayer, offers to train her. While the plot occasionally drags, Shepherd's characters, premise, and prose remain engaging.
