In a dense jungle landscape teeming with perils, 18-year-old Faylen finds the real threat lurks beneath his skin.
His people’s ancient power allows them to mimic the untamed creatures of their surroundings. However, when it is Faylen’s turn to take on the claws, speed, and superhuman strength of his ancestors, he feels a darker presence accompanies them.
While Faylen battles internally, he faces a dangerous coming-of-age rite: the Hunter Trials, filled with dizzying chases across titan-filled woods and brutal blood duels for coveted acclaim. As his generation proves itself in this unruly game, the world beyond his secluded village simmers to a boil. Four other bloodlines also command their own unique and devastating powers, and today, despite a heavily regulated era of peace, old alliances are quietly rekindling in faraway lands.
As the threat encroaches on his quiet woodland home, Faylen realizes he must become stronger to protect his people. The only way he knows how is by reaching further into the jungle’s ferocity than any have before. But if he digs too deeply for that power, what might claw its way out?
