The Blood of Giants

The Adventures of Baron Von Monocle, Book 2

By: Jon Del Arroz

Narrated by: Katie Wright

Danger looms on a foreign continent....

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.

When Zaira arrives on Zenwey, she finds the continent to be a mysterious and hostile environment. She must navigate her way past savage jungle warriors, fantastic creatures and terrors, and evil forces that have flying machines of their own. Before she can try to save Rislandia, she has to survive!

Continuing Zaira’s adventure and expanding her world

Picks up not long after “For Steam and Country” left off. Zaira goes on an adventure well beyond where the first book took place, continuing some of the plot threads left unresolved after the first book.

Katie Wright’s performance as Zaira is as enjoyable as it was last time.

Had to listen to the book twice to pick up on some details I missed the first time, but still an easy listen.

Ends on a cliffhanger but something big is being setup. Look forward to the next in the series!
