Part of Wings of Fire, book 10
First published 2017
Qibli watches Darkstalker's influence poison dragons across the seven tribes of Pyrrhia. The ancient dragon kills or enchants everyone in his path, and Qibli knows someone must act. He dreams of wielding magic himself, imagining how even a fragment of Darkstalker's powerful scroll could end wars and bring happiness to all dragons. Without natural magic, Qibli borrows animus objects from his friend Turtle. He believes clever thinking can transform these small magical items into tools that matter. The fate of Jade Mountain hangs in the balance as Darkstalker's power grows stronger each day. Qibli must choose between playing it safe and risking everything he loves. His friends, his family, and his entire world depend on whether he can become the hero Pyrrhia desperately needs. The weight of an ancient prophecy presses down on him, but prophecies resist change. Qibli faces the ultimate test of courage and intelligence in a battle that will determine the future of dragonkind.
