The Novel

A deeply honorable border lord and his Struthiomimus companion uncover an ancient conspiracy while competing in a world where chivalric knights ride dinosaurs into battle.

Jurassic Joust is an adult fantasy that feels a bit like A Knight's Tale meets Dinotopia, with a murder mystery, blood-mage conspiracy, and an evolving bond between a knight and his dinosaur companion. 

The Series

An epic fantasy adventure featuring dinosaur-mounted knights, blood magic conspiracies, forgotten history, and the enduring bonds between humans and dinosaurs.

Meet the Characters

Readers who enjoy the human-creature relationships of Temeraire may find something familiar in Devlin and Noble.

Devlin, Lord of Dew Way Manor

A count whose best years seem behind him. Burdened by duty and determined to do what is right, Devlin discovers that honor is often far more costly than victory.

Noble

Devlin's Struthiomimus companion and closest friend for over twenty years. Intelligent, loyal, and increasingly mysterious. Noble may hold answers to questions no human can yet understand.

Magic

Blood mages and bone shamans dominate dinosaurs through stolen power, but Devlin's lifelong partnership with Noble is evolving into something no one believes possible.

A dinosaur becomes more intelligent and more powerful as a human treats it with increasing respect, trust, and love.

As their relationship deepens and Noble's abilities grow, Devlin discovers that trust can create powers blood magic cannot.

Themes

Jurassic Joust explores duty, trust, sacrifice, and the bonds between humans and dinosaurs in a world where some seek partnership while others seek control.
