A dragon’s origins before the great war

Set in Pyrrhia long before the SandWing war and the Dragonet Prophecy, this fantasy follows three dragons whose paths converge around Darkstalker’s emergence. A SeaWing prince discovers he has animus magic, while a NightWing dragonet glimpses possible futures dominated by disaster. Their stories frame the arrival of a dragon described as the most powerful Pyrrhia will know, linking personal abilities and forebodings to the wider history of the world. The book offers a prequel perspective on the Wings of Fire setting, centered on destiny, dangerous magic, and the beginnings of a figure whose actions will change that world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers, especially ages 9–12, interested in dragon-centered fantasy.
  • Wings of Fire readers curious about Pyrrhia’s history before the SandWing war and Dragonet Prophecy.

Book overview

The first-ever special edition of the New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series soars back in time to the origin of Pyrrhia's most dangerous dragon: Darkstalker.

 

Three dragons. One unavoidable, unpredictable destiny. This is the beginning... of the end.

 

In the SeaWing kingdom, a young prince learns he is an animus -- capable of wonderful magic that comes with a terrible price.

 

In the mind of a NightWing dragonet, a thousand futures unfold -- and almost all of them, she knows, lead to disaster and destruction.

 

And under three full moons and the watchful eyes of his NightWing mother and IceWing father, the most powerful dragon Pyrhhia will ever know is clawing his way out of his egg. Darkstalker, the dragon who will change the world forever.

 

Long before the SandWing war, lifetimes before the Dragonet Prophecy... darkness is born.
