"Fans of the series will be drawn to the visual representation of their favorite characters, as will those who enjoy epic, animal-based fantasies"-- School Library Journal
The #1 New York Times Bestselling Wings of Fire series soars to new heights in the fourth graphic novel adaptation! A fantastic fantasy novel for all age readers, especially for young-adults.
The Wings of Fire saga continues with a visit to the mysterious land of the NightWings, where Starflight is stolen by his own tribe. He must face a terrible choice--his home, or his friends?
In the shadows, trouble is brewing...
Like all other dragonets of destiny, Starflight has always wanted to see his home-- but he's also been afraid of fellow NightWings. Starflight doesn't have mindreading powers like his tribe and he doesn't understand why they are so secretive. No one has ever seen the NightWing queen.
Straflight hopes to light on some of the long-held secrets of NightWing--what magical powers they really have, who they're allied within the war, and where they've been living all this time. But the truth about Starflight's tribe is more terrible than he ever imagined: Not only do the NightWings live in a dark and miserable place, but they have imprisoned several innocent RainWings there, too.
Stranded and alone, Straflight only wants to get back to his friends. He is the only hope to all the dragonets'- he must find a way to negotiate with NightWings to free the RainWings dragons. He is the smartest of the dragonets... But the fate of two kingdoms now rests in his talons, and with no one to save him. Starflight will have to find a way to be brave... before its too late. Is he brave enough or will he oscillate in his mission and betray them all?
