About this title

Synopsis

Alone.

Trapped in the age of dinosaurs.

Sidra is fourteen years old. Entitled. Sheltered.

Now a teleportation accident in the far future has left her stranded in the green hell of the Triassic Period where she must search for her lost brother.

But in order to do that, she must learn to survive in the reed swamps and impenetrable jungles of the Triassic.

With little but the clothes on her back, has to learn to fish, to hunt, to make tools and weapons in one of the most unforgiving periods in Earth’s history.

Every day is a battle against the harsh environment, its predators, and against herself.
