Dino Quest: The Trouble with Tyrannosaurs: What If Knights Rode Dinosaurs?

by Ian Billings, Daniel Duncan (Illustrator)

Overview

Meet Moss, an apprentice dino-dung shoveler working in Primordia's royal stables. He couldn't be any further down the pecking order without being underground - and he'll certainly never get a chance to be a knight like his hero, Sir Brutus Fallsword.

But fate takes a twist when Moss discovers that he has a gift for speaking to dinosaurs. He is suddenly and unexpectedly enlisted into training a truly fearsome beast - the huge and mighty Tyrannosaurus rex belonging to the king's own daughter, Princess Opal!

When a treacherous knight launches a coup against the king, the castle descends into chaos. Can Moss and Opal - along with a ragged band of outlaw warriors - hope to save the Kingdom? Or will they be added to the dino-dung-pile?
