The Deadlands: Survival

Ages 8 to 12

Wings of Fire meets Jurassic Park in this thrilling finale of the middle-grade action-adventure series about five outcasts—and former enemies—who are the only hope to save their warring dinosaur kingdoms.

As bloody battle rages between the two surviving dinosaur kingdoms, Eleri and the other young exiles—including a peppy stegosaur, a stoic sauropod, a testy triceratops, and a mysterious spy—have temporarily thwarted the Carrion Kingdom, a conniving cabal of carnivores, and destroyed their secret stronghold.

Fearing that their cunning enemies will soon regroup and seek vengeance under King Cothar, the exiles must risk their lives by returning home to unite and lead the war-torn herds that turned their backs on them into one final, all-out battle for the very future of the land of Cretacea.
