 Bloomsbury presents The Bringer of Dust by J.M. Miro, read by Ben Onwukwe

1883. Agrigento, Sicily. A city of spires and now broken hopes and bodies…

With the orsine destroyed, Cairndale lies in ruins, and Marlowe has vanished. His only chance of rescue lies in a fabled second orsine – long-hidden, thought lost - which might not even exist.

But when a body is discovered in the shadow of Cairndale, Charlie and the Talents realize there is even more at stake than they'd feared. For a new drughr has arisen, ferocious, horned, seemingly able to move in their world at will – and it is not alone. A malevolent figure, known only as the Abbess, desires the dust for her own ends. And deep in the world of the dead, a terrible evil stirs - an evil which the corrupted dust just might hold the secret to reviving, or destroying forever.

So the dark journey begun in Ordinary Monsters surges forward, from the sinister underworld of the London exiles, to the roar of the streetmarkets in nineteenth-century Alexandria, to the sunlit silences of the Dalmatian coast. Against bone witches, mud glyphics, and a house of twilight that exists in a netherworld all its own, the Talents must work together - if they are to have any hope of staving off the world of the dead, and saving their long-lost friend.

A breathtaking sequel to Ordinary Monsters, delving even deeper into the rich worldbuilding and darkly sparkling tale of The Talents.

Praise for Ordinary Monsters (Book One of The Talents Trilogy):

‘Terrific… A book that creeps up on you, wearing brass knuckles’ Conn Iggulden

‘A dazzling mountain of wild invention, Dickensian eccentrics, supernatural horrors and gripping suspense. Be warned… once you step into this penny dreadful to end all penny dreadfuls, you’ll never want to leave’ Joe Hill

‘Haunting, tense, earth-shattering’ Tamora Pierce©2024 J M Miro (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Action & Adventure Fantasy Genre Fiction Historical Magical Realism

I did not enjoy this audiobook. It was such hard work to get through and I found it extremely complicated. I absolutely loved the first book, 'Ordinary Monsters', but this was a slog. I'm really glad to have finished it so that I don't have to listen to it again. I wouldn't recommend it. I think the first book works well as a stand-alone novel and I would certainly recommend that, but not this.

Long and extremely complicated... an epic slog.
