A teen girl must bring together two broken worlds in order to save her nation in this lush, Filipino-inspired young adult fantasy novel from debut author Elisa A. Bonnin.
Elisa A. Bonnin was born and raised in the Philippines, after which she moved to the United States to study chemistry and later oceanography. After completing her doctorate, she moved to Germany to work as a postdoctoral scientist. A lifelong learner, Elisa is always convinced that she should "maybe take a class in something" and as a result, has amassed an eclectic collection of hobbies. But writing will always be her true love. Publishing a book has been her dream since she was eight years old, and she is thrilled to finally be able to share her stories.

and victory that push the limits of human tenacity. This is a
triumphant tale of courage and self discovery that will make you
believe in your own strength." --Kylie Lee Baker, author of The
Keeper of Night "With a truly inventive setting and so many twists
and turns, Dauntless takes you on a journey that's often bloody,
sometimes sweet, but that always keeps you guessing until the very
end. Likable characters and sweet romances only add to this

adventure." -- Publishers Weekly
