In the shadow of the Dolomite Mountains, a deadly theropod escapes the ruins of Biosyn Valley, igniting the deadliest dinosaur outbreak Europe has ever seen. As prehistoric predators spread across the continent, three allies—Harry Potter, Hermione Granger-Weasley, and Ron Weasley—discover that the wizarding world has spent three decades deliberately hiding the existence of de-extinct dinosaurs from magic and muggle alike. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Jurassic veterans Dr. Ian Malcolm, Dr. Alan Grant, Owen Grady, and Claire Dearing, the trio must break every rule they once swore to uphold. With wands hidden and the Statute of Secrecy on the brink of collapse, they infiltrate a ruthless corporation, trek through a rain-soaked valley teeming with ancient killers, and confront nightmares both new and old. But some secrets refuse to stay buried. When magic collides with chaos theory in the heart of dinosaur territory, the line between predator and prey, muggle and wizard, truth and cover-up, will be torn apart forever. Jurassic World: New Epoch — the storm was only the beginning.
