SONA AND THE GOLDEN BEASTS – RAJANI LAROCCA

From Newbery Honor and Walter Award–winning author Rajani LaRocca comes a gripping middle‑grade fantasy perfect for fans of *The Serpent’s Secret* and *The Last Mapmaker*. Though music is outlawed in the land of Devia, Sona hears it everywhere. Sona is a Malech, a member of the ruling class that conquered Devia centuries ago. Malechs forbade music to prevent the native Devans from using their magic, and Sona hides her abilities lest they put her in danger.

When Sona discovers an orphaned wolf pup with golden ears, she believes it may be related to one of the five sacred beasts of Devia and vows to keep it safe. She brings the pup along on a perilous quest with a Devan boy to secure the nectar of life for a loved one who has fallen gravely ill. As she journeys, Sona uncovers secrets about the Malechian empire and her own identity, realizing that the fate of the sacred beasts—and the future of Devia—may rest in her hands.

This captivating fantasy novel will sweep readers into Sona’s quest across Devia as she grapples with the lasting impact of colonial rule and learns to fight for what she knows is right.
