This novel is set in an alternate-reality 1815 during the Battle of Waterloo. Dinosaurs are still alive, and Willem, a Flemish teen, plays a key role in protecting his village from these rampaging beasts. Political intrigue (from village to nation-state level), magic, fantasy, and historical battles blend together in an exciting, thrilling adventure.
