The war between the tribes is finally over, and now the dragonets of the prophecy have a plan for lasting peace: Jade Mountain Academy, a school that will gather dragonets from all the tribes and teach them to live together, perhaps even as friends.

Our Review

This graphic novel adaptation plunges readers directly into the fragile peace of Pyrrhia, where the newly established Jade Mountain Academy aims to unite dragonets from every tribe. The narrative centers on Moonwatcher, a young NightWing who has spent her life hidden in the rainforest, grappling with the immense burden of her secret mind-reading abilities. Her uncertainty about attending a school teeming with the thoughts and emotions of strangers creates immediate, compelling tension. The story masterfully explores whether this ambitious academy can truly foster friendship where generations of war have sown only distrust.

The visual format brings the dragon tribes and their unique cultures to vibrant life, making the complex social dynamics of the academy instantly accessible. Moonwatcher's perspective is particularly powerful, as her psychic gifts force her to navigate not just the spoken conflicts but the hidden fears and prejudices simmering beneath the surface. Fans of the series will be utterly absorbed by this next chapter, which artfully balances world-building with a deeply personal coming-of-age story. It’s a gripping installment that proves even in times of peace, the most dangerous battles can be the ones fought within.
