Overview
"Like Rats in a Swarm is a young adult fantasy novel. The first in a series and focuses on Yadira "Dead Eye" Alamilla, a one-eyed hunter living in an overgrown dystopian world. Magic has been lost and Yadira and her people are only protected from the overgrown animals and the dangerous faerie by the walls of their isolated city. They are fearful of anyone beyond their walls, including Druids, Faeries, and Free Travelers who navigate the overgrown world with ease. After a hunt goes wrong, Yadira must save her sister, Benita, from the faerie who kidnapped her. While traveling Yadira and her band of misfits–Kettle, Spindleshins, and Parsnip–join a caravan of Druids, who challenge their view of the world, magic, and themselves. They travel across the overgrown land to save Benita while being pursued by other hunters because Yadira stole a priceless relic to trade for her sister." -- Abstract
