The Dangerous Gift is a thrilling addition to the Wings of Fire series by Tui Sutherland.

Snowfall didn’t expect to be the queen of the IceWings at such a young age, but now that she is, she’s determined to be the best queen ever. Her plan is simple: keep her tribe within IceWing territory, where it’s safe, while keeping every other tribe out, where they belong. It's backed by all the IceWing magic Snowfall can find.

That is, until a storm of unidentified dragons arrives on her shore, seeking asylum. The foreigners are completely strange and, Snowfall is certain, utterly untrustworthy. But as she escorts the miserable new tribes out of her kingdom, Snowfall is forced to reconsider her plan.

Maybe she can only keep her tribe safe ... if she’s willing to risk everything.
