Description
In the summer of 1863, as the Civil War rages and New York City teeters toward unrest, Magdalys Roca and the children of the Colored Orphan Asylum struggle to stay safe while rumors of violence spread. When a letter arrives that her brother Montez has been wounded, Magdalys is driven to find him—only to discover that her rare telepathic bond with dinosaurs could be the key to surviving a world where danger comes in every form. Racing through shifting alliances and perilous landscapes, she must outthink powerful forces and protect the people she loves, even as her own gifts make her a target. Blending historical adventure with speculative imagination, this fast-paced story explores resilience, family, and the fight for freedom—told in Daniel José Older’s vivid, character-forward style that brings history to life with wonder and urgency.
