Tagschosen dystopian found honor hunt

For eighteen years, the girls wait. Every summer, the boys are sent beyond the boundary and into the wild. Alone. Untrained. Unprotected. They must survive the wilderness until the Choosing begins. Then the girls enter the forest. Some search for childhood promises. Some search for status. Some search for love. The first boy a girl finds becomes her partner, her future, and the life she is expected to build. Everyone knows who Rae is supposed to find. Everyone except Rae. As the days pass and the forest begins giving up its boys, the one she is searching for remains missing, while the one every girl dreams of finding appears directly in her path. But the wilderness changes people. Boys return with secrets. Friendships fracture. And for the first time in living memory, not everyone wants to be found. Because the greatest danger may not be what happened in the wild. It may be what comes home with the boys.
