A hidden power and a looming choice

In the ninth Wings of Fire book, Turtle has kept his animus powers secret—even from his sister—and would rather stay out of danger than become the hero of one of his stories. But Darkstalker, an ancient dragon from Pyrrhia’s legends, has returned, and Turtle’s efforts to watch from the shadows bring him closer to a choice he hoped to avoid. The setup connects a personal struggle over secrecy and courage with a larger conflict between a powerful threat and the dragons who might stop him.

Book overview

The New York Times and USA Today bestselling series soars to even greater heights with a new prophecy and five new dragonets ready to claim their destiny!

 

For every villain, there is a hero . . . Turtle isn't one of the heroes he reads about in stories. If he were, he'd use his animus powers to help Pyrrhia -- instead of keeping his abilities a secret, even from his own sister. Now that Darkstalker, the sinister and impossibly old dragon from Pyrrhia's most notorious legends, has returned, Turtle knows his own role is simple: hide. And stay hidden.The other dragons at Jade Mountain Academy, on the other hand, think Darkstalker is fascinating. He charms everyone he meets, including Turtle's most skeptical friends. They all seem convinced that the ancient dragon has changed.Turtle isn't so sure. The more he watches Darkstalker from the shadows, the more Turtle knows that someone needs to stop the powerful dragon. A real hero. But Turtle is running out of time to find one, which mean . . . he might have to try to save the day himself.
