Dactyl Hill Squad
The astounding first book in a series that blends history and fantasy like never before! It's 1863 and dinosaurs roam the streets of New York as the Civil War rages between raptor-mounted armies down South. Magdalys Roca and her friends are on a field trip when the Draft Riots break out and some of their fellow orphans are kidnapped by an evil magistrate, Richard Riker. Can Magdalys and the squad rescue the rest of their friends before it's too late?
Freedom Fire
Magdalys and the squad are flying south on pteroback. South to rescue her older brother. South to war.
