Overview

New York City has been decimated by war and plague, and most of civilization has migrated to underground enclaves, where life expectancy is no more than the early 20's. When Deuce turns 15, she takes on her role as a Huntress, and is paired with Fade, a teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a young boy. When she and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been decimated by the tunnel monsters--or Freaks--who seem to be growing more organized, the elders refuse to listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled from the enclave, the girl born in darkness must survive in daylight--guided by Fade's long-ago memories--in the ruins of a city whose population has dwindled to a few dangerous gangs.

Ann Aguirre's thrilling young adult novel is the story of two young people in an apocalyptic world--facing dangers, and feelings, unlike any they've ever known.

  • Razor-sharp plot that will keep you on the edge.

    Amanda M. - 1 year 6 months ago

    After picking up Enclave and reading the synopsis, I felt that it was a good fit for me. Bold characters enduring life during a post-war, dystopian era. What more is there to like, right? This book astounded me. Quite honestly, it had just about everything I seem to enjoy--zombie-like creatures that hunt humans, strong female lead characters, and unique plot twists that have you gasping out loud, or yelling, "WHAT?! NO!" It all starts in the underground society called College, which holds only about 100 people, and is run by the eldest individual in the society--whom is 25 years old. The main characters, Deuce and Fade, are sent away from their society after questioning the proclamations of their elder. Their punishment is exile to "Topside," which the elders have told stories about for generations that once a person steps to the surface, their entire body would burn. This story leads you on an adventure from Deuce's point of view, where she discovers that her entire life has been a lie.
