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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[Enclave] is a young adult dystopian novel and has been compared to the hit series \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games. \u003c\/i\u003eTo say we're excited is a major understatement.” —\u003ci\u003eElleGirl.com\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In her first young adult novel, Aguirre (the Sirantha Jax series) has created a gritty and highly competent heroine, an equally deadly sidekick\/love interest, and a fascinating if unpleasant civilization.
