Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often brutal place—one formed by the Eight Creators to play out their games of passion and power. In Paradise, lords and ladies vie for power as dinosaurs range the land and take the skies. And while some of these fearsome creatures run wild, others are harnessed as weapons of war.
Thus we are plunged into Victor Milán's world of The Dinosaur Lords, a place of dynastic rivalries, religious wars, and byzantine politics, and clashing armies of dinosaur-mounted knights. During the course of one of these epic battles, the mercenary Dinosaur Lord Karyl Bogomirsky is defeated through betrayal and left for dead. He wakes, naked, wounded, partially amnesiac—and hunted. And embarks upon a journey that will shake his world.

Milán (War in Tethyr) takes the arresting idea of knights on dinosaurs and expands it into the beginning of a complex and sweeping epic. The story is set in the Empire of Nuevaropa, a land much like late medieval Europe. Rob Korrigan, a dinosaur master, turns the tide of battle against noble mercenary captain Karyl Bogomirskiy’s White River Legion of battle triceratops, and the forces of Count Jaume Llobregat and Duke Falk von Hornberg finish Karyl’s destruction. Karyl dies twice, is revived both times, and eventually joins up with Rob to defend the pacifists of nearby Providence. Falk and Jaume return to the empire’s summer capital, where Jaume’s love, the princess Melodía, awaits—as do murder, intrigue, and a new war. Meanwhile, the Creators’ Grey Angels, mysterious entities who occasionally dabble in human affairs, watch and wait. Milán skillfully crafts his characters, giving each one vivid individuality. He has also given significant thought to just how knights might use dinosaurs as mounts in combat, suggesting novel techniques such as hadrosaurs that make sonic attacks. Readers who pick this up for the gimmick will relish it for the able storytelling.
