The Deadlands: Trapped by Skye Melki-Wegner

Wings of Fire meets Jurassic Park in the second book of this actionadventure series about five outcasts - and former enemies - who are the
only hope to save their warring kingdoms from impending doom.
As bloody battle rages on between the two surviving dinosaur kingdoms, Eleri
and his fellow outcasts, newly exiled from their herds, are searching for
evidence to prove a mass conspiracy - a conniving cabal of carnivores have
manipulated the herbivore kingdoms into war, so they can feast on the slain.
But after their temporary home is discovered by a vengeful pack of raptors,
the exiles must flee and soon find themselves trapped inside the Fire Peak:
the volcanic heart of the dreaded CarrionKingdom.
Before they have a chance to escape, they discover a cavern of imprisoned
herbivores, who are being picked apart - literally - one by one. Can the
outcasts stage an elaborate heist to free the prisoners and gather proof of the
Carrion Kingdom's vicious plans in one fell swoop?
Praise for The Deadlands: Hunted
This is my favorite middle grade book of the year . . . Full of heart, I would
have inhaled a series like this as a kid - I did as an adult. It's the full package."
- New York Times -bestselling author Amie Kaufman
"A claw-biting epic fantasy full of family drama, clever humor, nonstop action,
weighty themes, and of course, the coolest band of misfit dinosaurs around." -
John David Anderson, author of Ms. Bixby's Last Day and Posted

Skye Melki-Wegnerstarted writing as soon as she could hold a pen. She was
immediately drawn to fantasy - and soon her notebooks overflowed with
dragons, pixies, and wizards. After graduating with an honors degree in law,
she traded in practicing law for writing fantasy novels. Her first middle-grade
trilogy, The Deadlands, draws inspiration from her time working in a museum
(where some of her colleagues were dinosaurs)
