Publisher's Synopsis
Hatched beneath a solar eclipse, the raptor Sunstrike enters the world in the shadow of Sol-- the goddess of the dinosaurs. Devoted to Sol's holy law, he keeps the Pact: the sacrificial regard between hunters and hunted.
But the balance is destroyed by the Empress Charr, a tyrant bent on ruling the North American Cretaceous. Her regime carries a mysterious magic: fire.
Sunstrike sets out on a quest for justice that reveals a terrifying destiny. He must face the Empress, as his dreams foretell that failure will mean the end of the world -- and winning means the ultimate sacrifice.
