For seventy-five years, a secret lay dormant within the quiet confines of a museum drawer, hidden behind a label that misidentified its true nature. Researchers have finally unveiled the identity of this 200-million-year-old specimen: Eosphorosuchus lacrimosa. Named after the personification of the morning star, this ancient member of the Crocodylomorpha lineage possessed a bite force that commanded respect in the prehistoric waters of the late Triassic and early Jurassic.

This discovery serves as a chilling reminder that the past is never truly settled. While scientists in our world use modern technology to re-examine misidentified bones, Owen, the protagonist of The First Fracture, faces the living reality of these ancient apex predators. In the dense jungles of Costa Rica, Owen’s discovery of a mysterious amulet didn’t just lead to an archaeological find; it opened the door to the Triassic period itself.

The arrival of Eosphorosuchus in our records mirrors the sudden appearance of Time Fractures—those jagged, purple rifts in reality that haunt the Dino Age landscape. These fractures do more than transport majestic creatures across millions of years; they radiate an energy that fuels the aggression of already dangerous animals. As Owen works to stabilize these fractures and prevent the collapse of the timelines, he encounters creatures whose power and majesty were thought lost to time, now made volatile by the instability of the rift.

Much like the fossil that sat unnoticed for decades, the truth behind the Time Fractures is waiting to be unearthed. Every new species identified in the real world adds a layer of authenticity to the world Owen navigates, where the line between a museum specimen and a living, breathing threat is thinner than a fracture in time.
