"On an Earth that's a colony world belonging to mostly benevolent aliens, the Aya, Spider has been a top student at the Aya school - a school designed to teach students the aliens' language, culture, and ways. She's also been involved in the Fine Hunt, a sport that has evolved from the equine pursuits of Earth's past and the new technologies introduced by the Ayans. In Fine Prey, Spider's two worlds collide."
