Bloodmoon (The Scarlet Star Trilogy Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
The sun beat down like an angry blacksmith who had just found his wife in bed with the cobbler. The day was a sweltering one. Vicious, after the coolness of the damp morning. The rainclouds were long gone, beating a hasty retreat at the first sight of dawn. Daeven Port was a bustling hub, paying homage to railroad, riverboats, and airships aplenty. It sat like a flattened hive at the bottom of a river valley, fingers of wooden slats and roof-tiles creeping up and out onto the slopes, muddled and disjointed. Two airship towers dominated each half of the city: one in the north, one in the south, both vying for space in the skies. The fat, bulbous airships floated lazily around them, while smaller airskiffs and clockwork balloons buzzed around them. Below, in the river, steam and paddle plied the blue waters, rippling like a conveyor belt of gemstones in the hot sunlight. Riverboats fought for a spot at the crowded docks, splashing their paddles and props and ringing their bells. Merion could hear them even from the valley ridge.
