About This Book

An ancient evil, a terrible prophecy -- and five dragonets who could save the world . . . Don't miss the most thrilling adventure yet in the New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series! Qibli knows Darkstalker must be stopped. And he knows he could stop him -- if he had magic. With even a sliver of the ancient dragon's all-powerful scroll, Qibli could rewrite history the right way: end war forever; make every dragon happy; perhaps even cast a very small spell so that everyone would like him

Our Review

In this pivotal tenth installment of the popular dragon fantasy series, the fate of Pyrrhia rests on the clever but magic-less SandWing, Qibli, who must find a way to counter the ancient and immensely powerful dragon, Darkstalker. The narrative delves deep into themes of power, morality, and the true nature of heroism, asking whether good intentions are enough when wielding absolute power. Young readers who have followed the saga will be gripped by the escalating stakes and the complex ethical questions posed, making this a compelling page-turner that explores the weight of prophecy and the burden of choice.

What sets this dragon adventure apart is its focus on a hero who relies on his intellect and empathy rather than supernatural abilities, offering a powerful and relatable message for middle-grade readers. The book masterfully weaves together threads from previous volumes, delivering satisfying payoffs for long-time fans while continuing to build its intricate world of warring tribes and deep magic. This chapter is a must-read for any child engrossed in the Wings of Fire universe, providing a thought-provoking and action-packed story that challenges the very definition of strength.
