The fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series, now in a special edition paperback with colourful stenciled edges! This edition includes exclusive never-before-seen sketches and a Q&A about Sunny with author Tui T. Sutherland. A must-have for FanWings of all ages!

In the shadows, trouble is brewing…

When Starflight is stolen by his own tribe, he hopes to at least discover some of the long-held NightWing secrets – what magical powers they really have, who they’re allied with in the war, and where they’ve been living all this time.

But the truth about Starflight’s tribe is more terrible than he ever imagined: Not only do the NightWings live in a dark, miserable place, they’ve imprisoned several innocent RainWings there, too. Stranded and alone, Starflight only wants to get back to his friends. But the fate of two kingdoms now rests in his talons, and with no one to save him, Starflight will have to find a way to be brave … before it’s too late.

An epic dragon fantasy series for 9+ readers, perfect for fans of Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter. The Wings of Fire series has been a New York Times bestseller. Over 30 million copies in print!
