The novel also explores whether dinosaurs still live on the Mysterious Island/Lemuria, a place lost to time and whether the dinosaurs gave birth to dragons, the mythical fire-breathing creatures seen in the Harry Potter movies and novels. Some are deserted, and others are full of fairies (or dinosaurs, or mermaids, or wrong-sized animals). That treasure turns out to Odin's Heart, a spectacular ruby worth 100 miliion bucks.
