![]() However peace and the academy are in danger as a new prophecy is shared by Nightwing, Moonwatcher, warning of the destruction of Jade Mountain if an ancient city cannot be re-found. The second story arc, The Jade Mountain Prophecy, sees the dragons at peace (at least for now) and intent on establishing an academy to train the next generation of dragons to live and work together. The first is The Dragonet Prophecy in which five young dragons from different tribes are being raised in secret as those destined in an ancient prophecy to end the war that rages between the tribes of Pyrrhia. The main series of books explore three story arcs, with five books within each arc. The tribes don’t always get along however – these are stories of war as the tribes fight each other for power and control of Pyrrhia – and Sutherland does not shy away from sometimes violent and difficult themes, with storylines exploring difficult topics such as war, murder, deceit and racism to name just a few (which makes the series compelling reading but also potentially challenging for sensitive readers).Īnd, despite the fantasy genre, the series explores important real life issues relating to family, friendship and identity, with important life themes of courage, loyalty, destiny and sacrifice.

The fantasy fiction Wings of Fire series has developed a cult following across the world, popular with middle grade through to adult readers alike. Sutherland’s Wings of Fire books series, collecting each book on its release date – including lining up in the freezing cold at a bookshop on Boxing Day one year!
