War Hunt

War Hunt is the second and final thrilling installment in the acclaimed Empire Wars duology, set in a brutal world where one girl's magic may hold the only hope for humanity's survival.

Coa Rangecroft, survivor of the deadly Great Hunt, has been taken into custody by the American armed forces. Now she is to be sold at auction to the highest bidder. In return, America promises to keep her family safe and free from the genocidal Allied Force and to give Coa the opportunity to become an enhanced soldier.

Servitude, of course, requires swearing allegiance to the newly reborn nation. Coa must take a solemn oath to preserve America's social order and to eliminate its enemies. Soon, she's back where she started: fighting against her will on behalf of a brutal empire. Worse, the Allied Force has been humiliated by her "rescue" and plans to exact terrible revenge. Which means that Coa's fate once again rests in the hands of Chief Princess Ife--the only one who can prevent a catastrophic attack that will render all of America's promises to Coa meaningless.
