Hunt in the Storm
(2027)(The second book in the Other Half of the End series)
A novel by Jacquelyn Gilmore
A telepath is drawn deeper into an insurgent war and forced to team up with her enemy to rescue fugitive captives before the system can erase them, all while uncovering the truth that could save her sister from the same fate.
The hunt is on, and the storm is just beginning.
Audrey followed Ryker deeper into Nepra to get closer to the truth about her sister.
Instead, she is pulled into a brutal world where captive Voirians are used to power the very system that wants them erased, and every mission drags her deeper into a war she never meant to join. The assignments are simple on paper: get in, get out, save the next target before the Aggregate can make them disappear. But each rescue costs more than the last, and each failure leaves Audrey more entangled with the one man she should never trust.
Ryker is ruthless, unreadable, and always five steps ahead—until Audrey’s power begins changing in ways neither of them can control.
The fire she unleashed was only the beginning.
The headaches tearing through her mind are getting worse.
And the closer Audrey is forced to stay with Ryker, alone, hunted, and dependent on his secrets, the more their hostile alliance warps into something far more dangerous.
Because Ryker is not just hiding the truth about the war—he's hiding the truth about her.
Then a rescue goes wrong. A dying girl turns the mission personal, and Audrey crosses a line she cannot uncross.
What began as a desperate attempt to find Cary becomes something darker: a fight against a system built on suffering, a reckoning with the monster Audrey may be becoming, and a volatile bond with the man who sees it happening before she does. But the next target is not just another rescue.
She is the key to a future Ryker has been trying to prevent.
Hunt in the Storm is the second book in The Other Half of the End, a dark, fast-paced speculative thriller series with dystopian, fantasy, and sci-fi elements.
