Description
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?
