Our Review

This epic fantasy adventure plunges readers into a world torn apart by a generations-long war between seven dragon tribes, all fighting over a lost treasure. The story follows five young dragonets who have been raised in secret by the Talons of Peace, a group determined to end the conflict by forcing them to fulfill a dangerous prophecy. These chosen dragons, each from a different tribe, must navigate their own doubts and the immense pressure of a destiny they never asked for.

Sutherland masterfully builds a complex society of warring dragon factions, giving each tribe distinct cultures, abilities, and political motivations that feel refreshingly real. The narrative's strength lies in its character-driven focus, allowing readers to connect deeply with each dragonet's personal struggles against their predetermined roles. Teen readers who crave intricate world-building and morally gray choices will find themselves completely absorbed in this high-stakes tale of destiny versus self-determination.
