Newborn Dungeon Cores must choose what entity they help contain, and that choice determines what monsters they can summon. After being executed for crimes forgotten in death, Tira is given the chance to make that choice. She chose Acekorah, the Primeval Terror — a being so dangerous few cores will risk trying to contain it. The danger wasn't important. Tira remembers dying. Because the Primeval Terror walked the world long before the races of Man, Cores bound to him can summon beings from beyond the veil of time. Forged in the fires of Tira's wrath, the dinosaurs will walk the world anew.

Newborn Dungeon Cores must choose what entity they help contain. After being executed for crimes forgotten in death, Tira chose Acekorah, the Primeval Terror — a being so dangerous few cores will risk trying to contain it. The danger wasn't important. Because the Primeval Terror walked the world long before the races of Man, Cores bound to him can summon beings from beyond the veil of time. Forged in the fires of Tira's wrath, the dinosaurs will walk the world anew.

Tira's dinosaurs now have foes that can match their might. The Amedians' betrayal has rocked the world, and as the last surviving dungeon in the kingdom, Tira finds herself overrun by adventurers and soldiers seeking strength for the coming war. The dead dungeons have left entities about to break containment, a newborn core is struggling to hold in Refinael, and in Tira's depths the now-active Summoning Gate stirs, unleashing a horror through the Lowerlands. Some problems are too large even for dinosaurs.

Tira's enemies close in as her mind fractures. With the Summoning Gate under threadbare control, her sights turn to the war with Amedia — a raiding party en route with the sole intention of crushing what they think is the last surviving dungeon. But healing the fractures from the loss of Kolme and Dux requires locating a Wraith to restore her memories, with startling revelations inside. Meanwhile, adventurers still challenge her dungeon, her symbiotic core connections are strained, and an alien being arrives with a dire warning.
