The Bronzed Beasts by Roshani Chokshi

Returning to the dark and glamorous 19th century world of her New York Times instant bestseller, The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi dazzles us with the final riveting tale as full of mystery and danger as ever in The Bronzed Beasts.

After Séverin's seeming betrayal, the crew is fractured. Armed with only a handful of hints, Enrique, Laila, Hypnos and Zofia must find their way through the snarled, haunted waterways of Venice, Italy to locate Séverin. Meanwhile, Séverin must balance the deranged whims of the Patriarch of the Fallen House and discover the location of a temple beneath a plague island where the Divine Lyre can be played and all that he desires will come to pass.

With only ten days until Laila expires, the crew will face plague pits and deadly masquerades, unearthly songs and the shining steps of a temple whose powers might offer divinity itself...but the price of godhood may just cost them everything they hold dear.

Aru Shah and the End of Time (www.roshanichokshi.com) and its best-selling successors, Aru Shah and the Song of Death, Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes, Aru Shah and the City of Gold, and Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality, were all instant New York Times best-sellers. She's also the author of best-selling YA novels like The Star-Touched Queen and The Golden Wolves. She majored in fairy tales in college and once had a pet luck dragon that looked strangely like a Great Pyrenees dog. Roshani's all-consuming enthusiasm for Sailor Moon, as well as the stories her grandmother told her, inspired the Pandava quintet. She says y'all because she lives in the south, but she doesn't have a Southern accent. @roshani_chokshi is her Twitter handle.
