Koffi and her mother are indentured servants of the Night Zoo where they must care for and handle its unusual and dangerous creatures. They long to pay off their debt and be free from the cruel owners grip.
Ekon is a warrior in training. He wants to fulfill the family legacy and become a member of the Son of Six like his father and brother. The Son of Six are a highly skilled group of warriors.
Koffi and Ekon's path become entwined when Ekon allows Koffi to escape the Night Zoo after she had saved his life.
The escape brings shame upon Ekon and he is banned from joining the Son of Six. To prove himself worthy he must enter the Great Jungle and kill the Shetani, a dangerous creature that has plagued his city. He forms an unlikely alliance with Koffi who has her own agenda. She wants to capture the Shetani and use the creature to pay off her debt at the Night Zoo to free her mom.
This was a good story that I enjoyed reading. I will say it had a slow start and the change between POVs was a bit confusing at first. But overall a very good book. I loved the world building. The author is very descriptive and I could easily imagine the Night Zoo and the Great Jungle with all its strange and sometimes dangerous creatures. I gave this book 3.5 stars.
