In 1896, dinosaurs started the infection that ended the world.
Carmen has lived her entire life in New York City, a city of opium and invention, of rotting tenements and marble mansions; a divided metropolis built on the backs of the dinosaurs that never died out, kept safe by the rivers surrounding it.
When a mysterious illness spreads from the deinos to the humans, Carmen must start surviving, trapped on an island that's no longer home, where the dead won't stay buried, and the people are more dangerous than the dinosaurs themselves.
Where were you when it all began?
