Deuce, after her 15th birthday becomes a huntress she is partnered with Fade who is already a Hunter and has lived Topside as a young boy. The first to be written in the series, though not chronologically first due to the interceding books that Aguirre released after this one, we are introduced to Deuce and Fade in their Enclave. Exiled to above ground, Deuce and Fade attempt to ingratiate themselves within a surviving town that has endured above ground called Salvation, and eventually lead the fight against the horde that has gathered. The enclave in which they are living is about to face a number of challenges though, as Deuce and Fade are about to discover, tunnel monsters known as Freaks are organising and growing more intelligent, and have already unleashed their formidable force onto neighbouring enclaves. The story focuses on New York, where Deuce having recently taken up the role as a Huntress works with Fade, who as a young boy lived ‘Topside’, or over ground, where the population has significantly reduced to a number of a few very dangerous gangs. The Razorland trilogy is set in a dystopian world where the life expectancy age is extremely low, and civilization the world over has for the most part moved into underground enclaves to avoid the wars that were raging and the plagues that were killing everyone.
