Sixteen-year-old Amalia Thanlin never expected her weekend camping trip with friends to spiral into a waking nightmare. One minute, she's gathering firewood in a quiet mainland forest - the next, she's hopelessly lost, and something... someone... is following her.
The snap of twigs. The heavy footfalls. The creeping dread. Then - yanked off her feet and hoisted into the air by a hidden trap. What greets her upside-down is not a rescuer, but a man whose wide, toothy grin feels all wrong. Before she can scream, a strange canister hisses in his hand, spraying her face with an unidentifiable, shimmering liquid.
Her skin begins to burn. Her vision blurs. Fever sets in fast.
Fueled by fear and adrenaline, Amalia breaks free, stuns the attacker, and flees blindly - only to stumble onto a secluded dock, where a massive cargo ship waits under light guard. Desperate for safety and answers, she slips aboard unnoticed... and hides in the darkest, quietest space she can find.
But she isn't alone.
Deep within the cargo hold, Amalia finds herself face-to-face with a captive T-Rex and her pup - the latest specimens bound for return to Isla Sorna. But as the fever worsens and her instincts twist into something... primal, Amalia realizes that whatever was in that canister may not have been meant to kill her.
