In 1876, the American West is a battleground—not just for gold, but for dinosaur bones. Two paleontologists, locked in a fierce rivalry known as the Bone Wars, will stop at nothing to outdo each other.
Yale student William Johnson, brash and privileged, joins one of these expeditions to prove himself. But when his mentor, Othniel Charles Marsh, suspects him of spying, William is left stranded in the lawless town of Cheyenne. Desperate and determined, he joins forces with Marsh’s rival, Edwin Drinker Cope, and stumbles upon a fossil discovery of epic significance.
As ruthless outlaws and dangerous competitors close in, William must fight to protect his treasure—and his life.
Will his newfound courage be enough to survive the Wild West’s deadliest stakes?
