THE RED WIND The Kingdom of the Lost, Book 1

Isobelle Carmody narrates her enchanting fable about a pair of brothers, Zluty and Bily, who live together in their desert cottage. The more adventurous Zluty travels into the world to forage for food not available closer to home while the creative Bily stays home to garden, cook, and create various things to improve their lives. When a red blight appears in the sky on the eve of Zluty's longest trip, the brothers are unsure of how to handle this unforeseen threat. Carmody's performance is a fine example of the audience benefiting from the author's insight into her story. She is charming in her narration, portraying each brother with an authentic voice throughout this tale of family, friendship, adventure, and endurance.
