The last time Yulen spoke to her, Atty was heading east, along with Fortune Kalich and several other hunters. With the latest onslaught of Bloods gone, so was the game, until there was little left to hunt to feed the growing population of Alta Novis.

Either way, they are determined not to return to the compound without knowing the truth. What they discover will change their world forever.
