About this listen

Three years after her journey through Vystrana, the illustrious (and occasionally scandalous) Lady Trent defies convention to embark on an expedition to the war-torn continent of Eriga, home of the legendary swamp-wyrm.

Accompanied by an old associate and a runaway heiress, Isabella must brave oppressive heat and other hazards in order to satisfy her fascination with all things draconian. Her courage, resourcefulness, and scientific curiosity will be tested as never before.

"Uncompromisingly honest and forthright...with a heroine at once admirable, formidable and captivating. Reader, lose no time in making Isabella’s acquaintance." (KIRKUS)
"Lady Trent makes for an intrepid and pleasingly independent protagonist, mastering challenges both emotional and physical." ( Publishers Weekly)

I read the hardcopy version over summer but often struggle to find time to read in my day to day. This audiobook is a great “I have 10 minutes” listen, addictive, captivating and the type of fantasy fiction I long for.

Excited to get through the rest of them!

Revived my love of books

The background knowledge on the countries in conflict were a little confusing. Otherwise the main story & narration were good!

Fantastical!
