Dinosaur Dungeon Series by Alex Raizman, Core Verse

When dungeon delvers and dinosaurs clash, who can survive?Newborn Dungeon Cores must choose what entity they help contain, and that choice determines what monsters they are able to summon. After being executed for crimes forgotten in death, Tira is given the chance to make that choice. Tira 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... moreWhen dungeon delvers and dinosaurs clash, who can survive?Newborn Dungeon Cores must choose what entity they help contain, and that choice determines what monsters they are able to summon.

If containing Acekorah means Tira will face greater danger, that’s a risk worth taking, because the Primeval Terror walked the world long before the races of Man roamed the earth, and Cores bound to him are able to summon beings from beyond the veil of time.Now, forged in the fires of Tira's wrath, the dinosaurs will walk the world anew. less

Tira’s dinosaurs now have foes that can match their might.The Amedian’s betrayal has rocked the world, and the revelation of their ultimate weapon nearly spelled Tira’s doom. As the last surviving dungeon in the kingdom, Tira now finds herself overrun by adventurers and soldiers looking to increase their strength for the coming war.She barely has time to deal with that, however... moreTira’s dinosaurs now have foes that can match their might.The Amedian’s betrayal has rocked the world, and the revelation of their ultimate weapon nearly spelled Tira’s doom. As the last surviving dungeon in the kingdom, Tira now finds herself overrun by adventurers and soldiers looking to increase their strength for the coming war.She barely has time to deal with that, however. The dead dungeons have left entities that will break containment at any moment, Tira has to contend with a newborn core that is trying to hold in Refinael, and Tira is the only being with bigger concerns than Amedian dragons.And still, in her depths, the now-active Summoning Gate stirs, and the horror it unleashed runs through the Lowerlands.Some problems are too large even for dinosaurs. less

Tira's enemies close in as her mind fractures.With the Summoning Gate under threadbare control and the Stranger defeated, Tira’s sights turn now to the war with Amedia. Their raiding party is en route with the sole intention of crushing what they think is the last surviving Kholvenic Dungeon - her.But Tira isn’t alone. She’s got more allies than ever, and she’s ready for war. Almost.One last obstacle stands in her way: the loss of Kolme and Dux has left her fractured and reeling... moreTira's enemies close in as her mind fractures.With the Summoning Gate under threadbare control and the Stranger defeated, Tira’s sights turn now to the war with Amedia.

She’s got more allies than ever, and she’s ready for war. Almost.One last obstacle stands in her way: the loss of Kolme and Dux has left her fractured and reeling. The only way to heal is to locate a Wraith and restore her memories - and face the startling revelations they contain.To top it off, adventurers are still challenging themselves against her dungeon, her connections to her symbiotic cores are strained, Xenovore might be friend or foe, and worst of all, an alien being shows up on her doorstep with a dire warning and portents of things to come.The good news? A dinosaur’s jaws can solve any problem. less
