Dinosaurs, exile, and a kingdom at war

In a prehistoric world reshaped by a fallen star, dinosaurs have gained speech, thought, and the capacity for war. The conflict between the remaining kingdoms sends Eleri, a prince’s disgraced son, into the Deadlands after he saves an enemy soldier. There, a dangerous landscape of tar pits, poisonous gas, and carnivores forces him to rely on fellow exiles—including the dinosaur he rescued. Their discovery about the war connects the personal stakes of survival with a threat to both kingdoms. The setup combines dinosaur fantasy, political conflict, and an unlikely alliance.

Book overview

When a fallen star transforms dinosaurs into thinking, speaking warriors, five unlikely exiles become the last hope for survival. For fans of Wings of Fire and Warriors.

"My favorite middle grade book of the year." --New York Times-bestselling author Amie Kaufman

Battle rages between the dinosaur kingdoms of Cretacea.

When the Fallen Star struck, it brought death and despair, ash and toxic rain. But some dinosaurs survived . . . and were changed. Their minds grew alert. They learned to speak. To dream. To wage war.

As the two remaining dinosaur kingdoms fight for territory, Eleri, the disgraced son of a prince, is exiled from his home for saving an enemy soldier. Banished to the merciless Deadlands, a terrifying desert full of tar pits, poisonous gas, and ruthless carnivores, he must join forces with a group of questionable allies--including the enemy soldier he saved--to avoid becoming prey.

When Eleri and his fellow exiles discover the horrific truth behind the war, the unlikely heroes must do all they can to save their kingdoms from a lurking predator. . . and a secret plot that might destroy them all.
