Note: This is sort of a prequel to another one I wrote called Terato. There's some spoilers for it but I don't think anything too big (until the end at least). It's generally thought that once an animal is extinct, it's gone forever. Dinosaurs aren't coming back. Neither are many other animals. Turns out they can be brought back. It just takes someone clever enough to bind the life force of two beings together and force something that should come naturally. Monster Riders are people who bond with a monster from a certain age. They are born with a mark to symbolize this bond. Someone found a way to force it with a few random kids and DNA from a bunch of bones from a museum. The someone just so happened to be the the tyrant rulers of the Riders, who will do anything to capture them again. Zoe and the other kids just have to find a way to keep their freedom and their lives. But they also have to find the truth about their animals and their bond. Is it really a Rider's Mark on their skin? Or just a mistake tattoo?
