Wings of Fire meets the ferocious dinosaurs of Jurassic Park in this action-adventure middle grade debut series about five outcasts--and former enemies--who are the only hope to save their warring kingdoms from impending doom.

This is my favorite middle grade book of the year . . . Full of heart, I would have inhaled a series like this as a kid--I did as an adult. It's the full package." --New York Times-bestselling author Amie Kaufman

Fifty years ago, the Fallen Star brought death and despair, ash and toxic rain. Thousands of dinosaurs died as forests withered and seas broiled. But some survived. And were changed. Their minds grew alert. They learned to speak. To dream. To wage war.

As the two surviving dinosaur kingdoms battle for the lands of Cretacea, Eleri, a young oryctodromeus and disgraced son of a prince, is exiled from the Mountain Kingdom for saving an enemy soldier from attack. Banished to the merciless Deadlands, a scorched desert full of tar pits, poisonous gas, and carnivores, he will have to join together with a group of questionable allies, including the enemy soldier he saved, to avoid becoming prey.

When Eleri and his new friends discover a predatory plot to destroy both herbivore kingdoms, the unlikely heroes must do all they can to try to thwart a deadly invasion plan before their families are ravaged.

Industry Reviews

"This is my favorite middle grade book of the year . . . Full of heart, I would have inhaled a series like this as a kid--I did as an adult. It's the full package." --New York Times-bestselling author Amie Kaufman

"A claw-biting epic fantasy full of family drama, clever humor, nonstop action, weighty themes, and of course, the coolest band of misfit dinosaurs around." --John David Anderson, author of Ms. Bixby's Last Day and Posted

"A fast-paced trilogy opener . . . will undoubtedly spark interest among Jurassic enthusiasts, and the engaging adventure will entice readers." --Publishers Weekly

"A terrific series opener . . . The world building is exquisite, with intricate mythologies, governments, and histories in place. The growing rapport between species is a delight, and though the focus is on friendship and family, there are deeper meditations on morality and war. A treat for any dinosaur devotee." --Booklist
