Battle rages on for the surviving dinosaurs in the second thrilling book in The Deadlands series. Hunted across the Salted Scorch by a vicious pack of raptors, Eleri and his friends become lost in the Fire Peak: the secret volcanic headquarters of the dreaded Carrion Kingdom. And they are not the only herbivores trapped within the enemy’s lair. Can the outcasts free a larder of prisoners and gather proof that the war is a lie … without becoming food themselves?

Before there were dragons, there were dinosaurs... Imagine a world in which the dinosaurs weren't killed by a meteor hitting the earth. A world in which dinosaurs have learned to speak. To dream. To wage war. Eleri is an oryctodromeus, a small dinosaur raised in an underground warren. He dreams of becoming his herd’s storyteller but when he saves an enemy soldier from a pterosaur attack, he is exiled to the Deadlands. To survive this scorched desert full of carnivores, he joins a herd of other young exiles, including a peppy stegosaur, a stoic sauropod, an irritable triceratops … and a mysterious spy. Can five young misfits save their warring kingdoms? Includes bonus content: a map and extra dinosaur facts. Perfect for fans of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, How to Train Your Dragon and Percy Jackson.
