Collectively adapted by both Barry Deutsch and Tui T. Sutherland, and respectively drawn and colored by Mike Holmes and Maarta Laiho, [8] the Wings of Fire series has undergone an adaptation into graphic novel form since 2018. [9] The second arc is currently being adapted. The world of Wings of Fire is made up of two continents that are predominantly populated by dragons: Pyrrhia (the focus of books 1-10) and Pantala (the focus of books 11-15). While Pyrrhia is home to seven tribes (MudWings, SandWings, SkyWings, SeaWings, RainWings, IceWings, NightWings), Pantala houses only three tribes (HiveWings, SilkWings, LeafWings), and hybrid dragons also exist in the world on both continents. With a few exceptions to each rule, each tribe lives in a habitat suited to its biological needs and abilities, is ruled by a dominant royal queen, and generally exists independently from the other tribes. Both continents are also inhabited by humans (called "scavengers" by Pyrrhian dragons and "reading monkeys" by some Pantalan dragons), who are viewed by most dragons as inferior animals and are often eaten, although interactions between humans and dragons are explored throughout the series.

The series currently consists of three arcs, which focus on young dragons ("dragonets") fulfilling prophecies in the fantasy world. Each arc consists of five books, and each book centers on its own protagonist whose story is told through a third person limited perspective. Fifteen books in the main series have been released, as well as four novellas (known as Winglets), two extended-length standalone novels (known as Legends), two companion books and six graphic novel adaptations of titles from the main series. [3] The series is edited by Amanda Maciel [4] and features covers drawn by Joy Ang; [5] many of the titles have been recorded as audiobooks by Shannon McManus. Sutherland, Tui T. (October 30, 2013).

The second arc consists of five books: Moon Rising (2014), Winter Turning (2015), Escaping Peril (2015), Talons of Power (2016), and Darkness of Dragons (2017), respectively starring Moonwatcher, Winter, Peril, Turtle and Qibli as the protagonists. It takes place six months after the Dragonets of Destiny have successfully ended the War of SandWing Succession, beginning at the newly-founded intertribal school Jade Mountain Academy and eventually expanding elsewhere within Pyrrhia and developing the tribal coexistence. The books focus on the aforementioned five students, among others, as they are faced with a sinister new prophecy: the "Jade Mountain Prophecy", which forecasts untold destruction and the obliteration of the academy by an unknown force. It also features conflicts between the heroes and both old and new enemies, chronicling the protagonists' efforts to maintain and preserve peace by preventing the foretold destruction.

They don't seem to understand that IceWings, the most superior of all dragon tribes, can fix their own problems. When their search leads the dragonets straight into Queen Scarlet's vicious talons, Winter is grateful to have some help. But even the bravest dragons can't follow him to the Ice Kingdom, where he'll have to face the greatest threat of all: his own family. Four "Winglets" have been published, short stories which peer into the lives and development of secondary characters, e.g. Fierceteeth, Deathbringer, Six-Claws, Arctic, Foeslayer, and Snowflake, who are featured in the main books or Legends. They expand upon untouched areas in the world of Wings of Fire and incorporate further character development. Originally published exclusively as e-book titles, the four stories - Prisoner (2015), Assassin (2015), Deserter (2016) and Runaway (2016) [7] - have since appeared several times in print. Three titles appeared in the limited edition A Winglets Collection: The First Three Stories (2016), two in the also-limited Winglets Flip Book (2019), and all four titles together in the widely-released The Winglets Quartet - The First Four Stories (2020) omnibus. [6] Graphic novel adaptation [ edit ] Winter Turning (graphic novel) is an upcoming comic adaptation of the seventh Wings of Fire book, Winter Turning that will be released on December 26th, 2023. [1] It will feature art by Mike Holmes. The book will be written from the point of view of Winter.

Wings of Fire has been noted for its thematic undertakings. It is written as an anti-war series, and the protagonists usually try to put an end to major conflicts by pacifistic means and while trying to prevent as many dragons from dying as possible. Despite generally being targeted toward children, the books are also noted for dealing with heavy and dark subject matter, though the series also continually works toward the idea of hope. Sutherland intentionally revolves each arc individually around its characters and sets of leading questions, such as free will versus destiny/fate, nature versus nurture, the implications of different styles of parenting, the various aspects of expectations (both that which one projects outwards and which one receives from others), what it means to be gifted (not just limited to intellectual giftedness), and the many facets of duty and responsibility. The phrase "wings of fire" was chosen to both immediately invoke the imagery of dragons to readers as well as to represent an individual's ability to overcome destiny and uncover one's full potential. Through the NightWing tribe, she additionally explores the philosophical and moral implications of mind-reading, prophecy, and extrasensory perception. Darkstalker and the second arc in particular innovatively expand upon the role of magic in fantasy literature through its concept of "animus magic", a rare form of magic which comes at the cost of affecting one's soul (both psychologically and literally). Additionally, Sutherland's personal philosophy and upbringing have been cited as an important influence, as have her unusual religious and multicultural upbringing. [6] Two standalone "special edition" titles separate from the main arcs, known as Legends, have been published: Darkstalker (2016) and Dragonslayer (2020). Each features alternating perspectives surrounding a little-known major historical sequence as it actually happened. The former expands on the "true story" of legendary historical figures Darkstalker, Clearsight and Fathom, [6] while the latter details the conclusion of the War of SandWing Succession from the perspective of three humans.

It takes place twenty years into the War of SandWing Succession, a continent-wide war across most of Pyrrhia with roots in the mysterious death of Queen Oasis of the SandWings at the hands of three scavengers. With a focus on the "Dragonets of Destiny", five young dragons (the protagonists) hailed as peace-bringers within an enigmatic prophecy (the "Dragonet Prophecy") and believed capable of ending the war by choosing which of Queen Oasis's three daughters - Blaze, Blister, or Burn - should ascend to the throne, and in turn bring peace to the continent of Pyrrhia.
