Five young dragonets have been raised in hiding, told since birth that a prophecy makes them responsible for ending a war between the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia.
Tui T. Sutherland opens the Wings of Fire series by letting those dragonets doubt everything they were taught, then sending them into a world far less orderly than their upbringing suggested. Alliances shift, loyalties are tested, and the world-building is detailed enough to reward readers who stay with the series well beyond this first volume.
Where the series begins:
• The opening volume of the Wings of Fire sequence
• Five dragonets raised apart from the war they are meant to end
• Pyrrhia and its rival dragon tribes established in detail
• A prophecy the characters themselves begin to question
Written for older children and for adults who read fantasy, and a reasonable starting point for anyone approaching the series. Available at Boipoka.
