The Deadlands

Dinosaurs fight for freedom and survival in book two of this action-packed middle-grade series.

Battle rages on between the two surviving dinosaur kingdoms.

Eleri and his fellow outcasts are searching for evidence to prove that the carnivores have manipulated the herbivore kingdoms into war, so they can feast on the slain. But soon the friends must flee from a pack of raptors and become trapped inside the Fire Peak: the volcanic heart of the dreaded Carrion Kingdom. Can the outcasts escape and gather proof of the Carrion Kingdom’s vicious plans in one fell swoop?
