An Original Dinosaur Fantasy Novel

IGG_FundedWithBadges_GogentaOutlined_RGB_Rectangle-1afa4a1d054f9e78965a40f34276122ef85b1d6

What is Dinosaur Fantasy?

Science fantasy is a genre that blends science fiction (think space operas or settings in distant worlds) with high fantasy (think wizards, spellcasting and creatures that can talk). Dinosaur fantasy incorporates dinosaur paleontology into the world of science fantasy, blurring the lines between real scientific study and the forces of elemental magic!

The Premise of Iara's Crossing

Avians--feathered maniraptoran dinosaurs--long considered the ammonite a symbol of longevity and prosperity. But there was more to these fossils than they realized--the ammonite was imbued with ancient magic that only Warriorfeathers could wield...

 

When the Oasis, the main hub of all avian kind west of the inland sea, is threatened by distant volcanoes and the presence of tyrants, Warriorfeathers from every enclave are summoned.

 

Iara is tasked with this fate, and must undertake a perilous journey. Will she survive and ascend as the next leader of the Oasis?

Content Warning - Iara’s Crossing is a dinosaur fantasy novel geared toward people between the ages of 10 and 100+ years old. It contains elements of violence, gore, infertility and emotional/verbal abuse/manipulation. Reader discretion is advised.

"Iara's self-doubt holds her back and makes her a reluctant hero...she tries to push back against what everyone tells her is her destiny, it shows that her will is her strongest attribute. I’m excited to see what she does next! I really enjoyed reading this!"
