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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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."

The dragonets of destiny carry on their quest to fulfill the Dragonet Prophecy in these two titles, each narrated by a different dragon. Secrets are revealed as the young dragons struggle to end the war between the seven tribes. Fans will be thrilled to learn the exciting series will continue, as a new queen must be chosen.
