The Wyranth army has pressed all the way to Rislandia’s capital. No one’s been able to slow their advance. Zaira can’t believe how far the war escalated in a few short months. She took her airship to a foreign continent when her country needed her the most, all because the conniving enemy emperor sold her on a pack of lies. She has no time for regrets. The king needs to be air-lifted to safety. Bombs need to be dropped on the advancing enemy army. Civilians need supplies and food before they die of sickness and starvation. It’s a lot to ask of one girl.

Zaira von Monocle is getting the hang of commanding her airship when crisis hits her homeland, Rislandia. Caught in a terrible cycle of withdrawal from their power-serum, Wyranth soldiers are ravaging the countryside in a berserk rage. The Grand Rislandian Army has been unable to slow their bloodthirsty advance. The Wyranth’s serum has its origin in legend, a children’s tale about giants roaming the land of Zenwey, far across the ocean. Zaira must take the Liliana and her crew to this faraway land, in hopes that she might find a cure before the Wyranth take even more lives.

Publisher's Summary
The thrilling adventures of Arabella Ashby continue in Arabella and the Battle of Venus, the second audiobook in Hugo-winning author David D. Levine's swashbuckling sci-fi, alternate history series!
Arabella's wedding plans to marry Captain Singh of the Honorable Mars Trading Company are interrupted when her fiancé is captured by the French and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp on swampy Venus. Now Arabella must find passage to an enemy-controlled planet in the middle of a war, bribe or fight her way past vicious guards, and rescue her captain.
To do this she must enlist the help of the dashing privateer, Daniel Fox of the Touchstone, and build her own clockwork navigational automaton in order to get to Venus before the dread French general, Joseph Fouché, the Executioner of Lyon.
Once on Venus, Arabella, Singh, and Fox soon discover that Napoleon has designed a secret weapon, one that could subjugate the entire galaxy if they can't discover a way to stop Fouché and the entire French army from completing their emperor's mandate.
