About the Author

Yxavel Magno Diño was born in the Philippines before moving to Australia at a young age, where she soon discovered that almost nobody there knew how to say her name. To make up for it, she spent her time daydreaming about fantasy worlds filled with characters who had more unusual names than she did. Now, she writes stories about her Filipino heritage and its fantastical folklore. When she's not writing, you can find her drinking copious amounts of black tea or getting lost in the pages of a book.

Readers will root for the brave and spunky Tani throughout the many twists and turns of her story!" --Katie Zhao, author of the Dragon Warrior and Winnie Zeng series

"Action-packed and splendidly enchanting, Diño gives wings to an epic middle-grade debut worthy of enthroning Bakunawas as one of the world's most beloved lore. Set in a world where Filipino myths come alive, Tani's adventures brim with courage, friendship, and hiwaga--that breathtaking mystical force that shines in Diño's prose. An absolute treat for lovers of dragons and fantastical beasts." --Caris Avendaño Cruz, author of MARIKIT AND THE OCEAN OF STARS
