ABOUT THE BOOK
NO SPOILERSClay is a big, easygoing MudWing dragonet who has spent his whole life hidden in caves under a mountain with four other dragonets, training in secret to fulfill an old prophecy that says five dragons will end a war that has torn Pyrrhia apart for twenty years. He would rather nap or protect his friends than fight, which worries the three guardians raising him, since the prophecy calls for a fierce warrior. When his friend Tsunami decides she is done waiting to be handed her destiny, a night of sudden danger forces the five dragonets to choose between hiding forever or making a break for the world above, and Clay finds himself leading a desperate escape into a world of gladiator arenas, warring queens, and dragons who would kill to control what the prophecy promises. Readers who like adventure, found family, and a hero who would rather protect his friends than fight will want to see how far Clay is willing to go for the friends he loves.
