Fall 2021 release: The Bronzed Beasts – Roshani Chokshi
The thrilling final installment of Roshani Chokshi’s Gilded Wolves series arrives this Fall, as Severin’s quest for immortality continues and his ragtag team of misfits scrambles to figure out a way to keep Laila alive.
Picking up where The Silvered Serpents left off, it appears that Severin has betrayed everyone he once held dear, in the name of trying to fix the mistakes he makes at the end of the first novel in this trilogy, The Gilded Wolves. And Laila’s internal clock to her own destruction is still ticking, as the rest of the team desperately searches for a way to save her life.
Now Severin and his crew must journey to Venice, in search of a way to play the Divine Lyrics he fought so hard to find in the second novel, and in doing so, get everything he’s ever wanted. But will that ultimate victory be worth the price he – and everyone he cares about – will have to pay to achieve it?
The official synopsis describes the story as follows.
"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 at a price they may not be willing to pay."
The Bronzed Beasts is available on September 21.
