The Dragonets of Destiny are headed to the secluded kingdom of the RainWing dragons in search of a cure for their wounded guardian, Webs. The RainWings dragonet, Glory, hopes to find out more about her tribe ecifically, that they are not lazy and useless. Like Clay and Tsunami before her, Glory learns that returning to a lost home is disappointing and perhaps her place in the prophecy is not the mistake she has believed it to be. A mystery involving missing dragons and a secondary group of dragonets advances the arc begun in The Dragonet Prophecy (2012.) While Glory's story is strong on its own, readers will need to be familiar with the previous books in the series to fully understand the scale of what is happening.

Horn Book

The peaceful rainforest seems like the perfect place for the five dragonets of destiny to hide. Though the RainWings are not at war with other kingdoms, the dragonets soon discover that RainWings are mysteriously disappearing. Fierce battles and menacing characters are tempered by humor and the appealing dragonets. A cliffhanger ending ensures more to come. A map and illustrated dragon guide are included.

The WINGS OF FIRE saga continues!

Deep in the rain forest, danger awaits...Glory knows the dragon world is wrong about her tribe. After all, she isn't "as lazy as a RainWing" -- she isn't lazy at all! Maybe she wasn't meant to be one of the dragonets of destiny, as the older dragons constantly remind her, but Glory is sharp and her venom is deadly... except, of course, no one knows it.When the dragonets seek shelter in the rain forest, Glory is devastated to find that the treetops are full of RainWings that no dragon could ever call dangerous. They nap all day and know nothing of the rest of Pyrrhia. Worst of all, they don't realize -- or care -- that RainWings are going missing from their beautiful forest. But Glory and the dragonets are determined to find the missing dragons, even if it drags the peaceful RainWing kingdom where they never wanted to be-in the middle of the war.
