The Dragonet Prophecy
Synopsis
Pyrrhia is at war, and a prophecy promises that the fighting will stop only when five chosen dragonets bring peace. Clay, a gentle MudWing, has grown up with four friends, Tsunami, Glory, Starflight and Sunny, in a hidden cave beneath a mountain. Guards called the Talons of Peace watch over them and tell them they are the answer.
The dragonets break out of that cave and learn that the world outside is far more dangerous than the one their guardians described. Soon the queen of the SkyWings seizes them and makes them fight as arena combatants. Survival depends on how well the friends can count on one another.
Clay narrates, so events come through the eyes of a kind-hearted dragon who would rather avoid a fight. The book is middle-grade fantasy aimed at readers of about 8 to 12, and it opens the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland.
Under the adventure sits a question the dragonets must face: whether anyone should be made to live out a prophecy they never chose for themselves.
