Book 5 of the Wings of Fire series
336 pages · First published 2014
Sunny has held tightly to the prophecy and the belief that the dragonets can end the war. A revelation about their supposed destiny forces her to reconsider how peace might actually be made. In the desert, new family knowledge and the rival SandWing queens bring the conflict into painfully personal focus. The first arc’s finale is a good match for readers who want an underestimated optimist to take the lead and turn friendship into purposeful action.
