The Hunt
are children sent from an endangered world in another universe/dimension of
reality, to protect them from a despot who wants to command their Talents.
Given into the keeping of the Hounds of Hamin, the members of the Hunt have
been separated by time as well as distance. They know each other by the
scars--rows of teeth marks--on their wrists. Some have been in our world for
decades, others only for a few years. Before more enemies show up to destroy
them, they must locate each other, soon, to find a way back home to save their
world.
Iris
Davenport hates the memories that come with world-shaking thunderstorms. She
doesn't want to remember she's a member of the Hunt. She's perfectly happy with
her adopted parents, helping run the lodge on Smokeytop Mountain, exploring the
mountainside and working search-and-rescue. The last thing she wants is to face
one of the Hunt and be reminded of the vows her parents made when they gave her
to the guardianship of the Hounds of Hamin.
Then a
plane taking a sick boy to a life-saving operation crash-lands on Smokeytop in
a thunderstorm. One of the searchers who come to the lodge is a member of the
Hunt, and he reminds her of everything she hoped to forget. She has her own
life now--a home, friends, parents, and a boyfriend. She's not willing to give
anything up for a world she barely remembers.
The past
catches up with them in the form of a traitor to the Hunt. Pieces of an old
puzzle threaten to get her and her boyfriend killed if they don't find all the
clues in time.
