Part of Wings of Fire, book 7
First published 2015
Winter has never measured up to his royal IceWing family's expectations. When his sister Icicle flees Jade Mountain Academy after committing serious crimes, Winter sees a chance for both siblings to redeem themselves. He must find Icicle before she causes more damage. His new friends Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou insist on joining the search, despite Winter's belief that IceWings should handle their own troubles without help from other dragon tribes. The hunt leads them directly into the claws of the brutal Queen Scarlet, where Winter discovers he actually needs his friends' support. But when the trail points toward the Ice Kingdom, Winter must continue alone. There he will confront the most dangerous challenge yet: his own family and their expectations that have shaped his entire life.
