The compromise

Two centuries ago, scientists brought back smaller and smarter versions of dinosaurs. However, these creatures turned against humanity, sparking a nuclear world war that left most of the world uninhabitable, except for what remains of the United States. To protect the survivors, a massive wall was built to keep the dinosaurs out and to prevent people from venturing into the dangerous wilderness beyond.

When the first John Howard rose to power, he established a communist regime and introduced "The Compromise": families are periodically sacrificed to the dinosaurs to prevent them from attacking the rest of the country. For over 200 years, this grim tradition has continued, and now, John Howard IV rules as president.

The Thompson family believes they are safe from being chosen, but they are about to be proven terribly wrong. Selected based on their wealth, they are sent out as sacrifices along with seven other families. As they face numerous challenges and uncover shocking secrets that could topple John Howard's regime, the Thompsons must confront not only the deadly dinosaurs but also their own dark family secrets.

Will they survive the dangers that lurk beyond the wall? Every step they take brings new threats, but this family is determined to fight for their lives and return home.
