Enclave is a futuristic book of a world full of zombie-like creatures called "freaks". The only humans left live in small underground civilizations with a series of tunnels to get in and out. The people are forced to choose between three different jobs in life; hunters, builders, or breeders. As a child, or "brat", they train to be the best they can at one of these jobs. Deuce was born to be a huntress, and she spent her first fifteen years preparing for it. She became a huntress at age 16 when she was also given her name, "Deuce". Her partner was chosen by the leaders of the community and they gave her Fade. Fade is seen as sort of an outcast of the community because he was not born there. Unlike the rest of the citizens, he showed up out of the tunnels. No one knows Fade's true story except for Deuce, who finds out later in the book.
Deuce and Fade's job as hunters is to provide meat for the community by searching through the tunnels. Their adventure starts when they disobey orders during one of their expeditions. The leaders of their community punish them by sending them on a long journey to a distant civilization in need of assistance. Along the way they run into many freaks and dilemmas that leave the two closer than ever. The only difference is that the freaks that they encounter start to get more and more intelligent with their attacks. Will they reach the other civilization? Will they bring them the answers they are looking for? That's up to you to find out...
I highly recommend this book to any adventure lovers out there. The way Ann Aguirre described each fight scene was amazing. It's one of those books that are hard to put down.
