"Sona hears music everywhere, even though it has been outlawed in the land of Devia. Sona is a descendant of the Malechs, foreigners who took over the governing of Devia centuries ago. Malechs put Devans to work mining gems and forbade music so Devans couldn't cast their magic. But Sona's world shifts after discovering an orphaned wolf pup. She believes the pup, with its golden ears, might be related to one of the five sacred beasts of Devia, which a Malechian Hunter has been killing one by one. And when someone Sona loves falls ill, she is drawn into a quest with a Devan boy to retrieve the nectar of life. On the perilous journey, Sona must try to avoid the deadly Hunter while keeping her companions safe. As she uncovers secrets about the Malechian empire and her own identity, Sona realizes that the fate of the sacred beasts, and the future of Devia, just might come down to her"--Provided by publisher.
