Description

BOOK 2 in the ZONA book series. These are dangerous times in Zona as Grant Taylor leads the humans who survived the expedition to winter quarters deep in the core of the crater. Winter arrives as the sabertooth lions begin their campaign to overtake the entirety of Zona’s lands. They have a surprising new weapon that they use to defeat the dire wolf fighters in numerous pitched battles and skirmishes that threaten to drive the dire wolves from their high meadows and forests. King Warmdor asks the humans to join forces and protect the land they all love and to prevent the fall of the dire wolf Kingdom of Zona. No one can imagine a Zona ruled by the treacherous and dangerous Solomon, king of the felines.

Grant and his fellow expedition members agree to help their beleaguered dire wolf friends to battle the scourge of the violent lions. But what can they do? They help find out what the new poison is that the cats use to kill wolves. They can fight with their weapons to keep the eight hundred pound sabertooths at bay in individual combat. They must fight for their new home and their new friends, aiding Prince Wuleron and Wooderadd, their companions in the just cause.

Meanwhile, Max Volkov crosses the dangerous marshlands and reaches St. Petersburg where he prepares a relief expedition with sorely needed supplies and ammunition. He works with Boris Ustinov to set up the first line of defense to prevent Zona from being discovered by the outside world. He must return to Zona over the frozen marshlands called the Land of Mist even though the Siberian winter seems to freeze him in his tracks. Will he make it back to Zona in time to resupply his endangered team mates?

A tale of human and dire wolf companionship, family ties, loyalty, selfless courage, feline treachery, and collective wisdom. Will the dire wolves of Zona survive the sabertooth uprising? Will Grant, Tamara, Volkov, Maxim, and the other fighters survive the desperate battles? Will Randall and his family live to tell the story of the dire wolf Kingdom?

Only time will tell.
