February was a short month, but we were not short on some great submissions. Without further ado, we present: Beasts and Savages by Emma Woods as the Editor’s Choice for March. From winning a Young Author's award in the fourth grade, Emma now has a bachelor's degree in Language Arts Education. Her debut YA novel is set in an absorbing fantasy world, where men and women are divided.
The story of Lea Corre, who was taught to value community, family, and the hunt. Her blood stems from a long line of proud hunters. When Lea's monthly changes come and she prepares for her own hunt, she questions the brutality and morality of the deadly custom. As she uncovers dark secrets and delves into her mother's broken past, she determines she will make her own fate. Along the way she encounters Tanner, her intended prey. His village has decided to take a stand against the tyranny of women. When Lea's prey becomes her captor, she learns more about their lives, the world, and herself.
In the end, Lea must choose between two worlds, in which neither she belongs.
