Book Two of this four-part epic plunges One Path into a breakneck prehistoric chase across unending forests, valleys and mountains, carrying a scorned child toward a life-giving treacle rumored to flow in the Towers. Closing in are Una’s tribe and the White Kin - an ancient albino T-rex drawn to the child’s power. Lushly illustrated, brutal and breathtaking, One Path: The White King delivers 200 pages of high-stakes survival from Greg Broadmore & Andy Lanning, published by Mad Cave Studios. In a brutal, breathtaking prehistory where cavegirls fight desperately to survive and dinosaurs rule the valleys, One Path flees her tribe with a “cursed” infant which she refuses to abandon. With a fierce young Runtling at her side, she drives toward the mythic Towers - vast, earthen spires said to hold life-saving sap, a treacle rich enough to keep the starving child alive. Behind them, love twists into pursuit. Una, One Path’s sister, leads a relentless war-band - driving three subjugated T-Rexes, they are determined to uphold their brutal laws and destroy the child they scorned. Worse still, Una’s desperate gambit has roused an older terror: the White King, an ancient albino T-Rex that rises from hibernation to claim its tribute. Drawn by the infant’s vital scent and the promise of renewed power, the White King cuts a path of ruin across forest and plain, devouring anything that stands between it and the child. Part chase, part odyssey, One Path: The White King hurtles through a landscape where hope is hunted and trust runs thin. As the Towers loom and the hunters close, One Path must choose what to risk, and who to become if she’s to save the condemned child.

Hunted by giant primordial beasts, red in tooth and claw, a tribe of cavegirls scratch out a bleak existence in a brutal uncaring world. They cling onto a life where not many make it beyond the first few months, let alone to adulthood. Governed by ancient laws and arcane rituals - the only constants they have - they follow the old ways on pain of death. But One Path, a hunter and warrior, has a plan to change their lives. To free them from the toll the great predators that stalk them charge, and it will overturn everything they know. Sometimes change is more terrifying than death.
