Every five years, two kingdoms take part in a Wild Hunt. Joining is a bloody risk, and even the most qualified hunters can suffer the deadliest fates. Still, hundreds gamble their lives to participate-all vying for the Hunt's life-changing prize: a magical wish granted by the Otherking.

Branwen possesses a gift no other human has: the ability to see and slay monsters. She's desperate to cure her mother's sickness, and the Wild Hunt is her only option.

Gwydion is the least impressive of his magically talented family, but with his ability to control plants and his sleight of hand, he'll do whatever it takes to keep his cruel older brother from becoming a tyrant.

Pryderi is prince-born and monster-raised. Deep down, all he wants is to know where he belongs.

A trickster, a prince, and a wild huntress-all in pursuit of the champion's prize. If they band together against the monstrous creatures within the woods.
