Description

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.

Similar Series From Novelist

NoveList provides detailed suggestions for series you might like if you enjoyed this book. Suggestions are based on recommendations from librarians and other contributors.
Warriors (Erin Hunter). Original series - Hunter, Erin
In these epic animal fantasies featuring anthropomorphic cats (Warriors) and dragons (Wings of Fire), different clans are at war. Each features fierce battle scenes, initially reluctant heroes, world-building mythology, and prophecies that must be fulfilled. -- Lindsey Dunn
Dragon Realm - Tsang, Katie, 1987-
Humans inhabit a much more centralized role in the suspenseful Dragon Realm series, while the plot-driven Wings of Fire focuses on the perspectives of dragons, but both fast-paced series will draw readers who enjoy adventurous stories starring fire-breathing creatures. -- Basia Wilson
Storm dragons - Kagawa, Julie
Though Storm Dragons features a human protagonist and Wings of Fire stars only dragons, these plot-driven fantasy series follow brave warriors who fight for the future of their kingdoms. -- Stephen Ashley
Dragon rider (Cornelia Funke) - Funke, Cornelia, 1958-
The fate of the world is in the hands of the dragons in each of these plot-driven, action-packed fantasy series. While Dragon Rider is funnier, and Wings of Fire veers more toward violence, both blend adventure with magical worlds. -- Lindsey Dunn
Battle dragons - London, Alex
Readers looking for a fast-paced fantasy focused on dragons should sink their claws into these series. Wings of Fire stars dragons caught up in a mysterious prophecy, while Battle Dragons follows a human who dreams of riding the winged creatures. -- Stephen Ashley
Foxcraft - Iserles, Inbali
Though Foxcraft's vulpine heroes bear closer resemblance to creatures from our world than the dragon protagonists of Wings of Fire, both of these plot-driven fantasy series feature shifting loyalties, surprising magic, and plenty of action. -- Stephen Ashley
Kulipari novels - Pryce, Trevor
Magical creatures (anthropomorphic frogs in Kulipari and dragons in Wings of Fire) discover that they alone possess the power to take on an insidious evil in these plot-driven fantasy series. -- Stephen Ashley
Secrets of Glendunny - Lasky, Kathryn
Though the beaver-led, Scotland-set Secrets of Glendunny is slightly more grounded in reality than the magical Wings of Fire, both of these intricately world-built fantasies follow tough anthropomorphic creatures who fight to protect their worlds from harm. -- Stephen Ashley
Wings of fire (Graphic novels) - Deutsch, Barry
These series have the appeal factors fast-paced and plot-driven, and they have the theme "chosen one"; the genre "fantasy fiction"; and the subjects "dragons" and "prophecies."

Booklist Review

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 specifically, 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.--Dean, Kara Copyright 2010 Booklist

Horn Book Review

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.
