This special edition prequel to the New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series delves into the origin of Darkstalker, a half NightWing, half IceWing dragon born with extraordinary power and a dark destiny. The story is told through the perspectives of three key dragons: Darkstalker himself, a SeaWing animus named Fathom, and a NightWing seer named Clearsight, who foresees countless disastrous futures. It explores complex themes of identity, destiny versus choice, the corrupting influence of power, and the struggle between good and evil. Parents should be aware of the intense themes and potential for violence inherent in a dragon fantasy series, suitable for middle grade readers aged 10-14.
Long before the SandWing and the Dragonet Prophecy, Darkstalker, half NightWing and half IceWing is hatched under the three moons--born into a divided heritage, he is destined to become the most powerful and dangerous dragon Pyrhhia will ever know, and it will take the combined efforts of a SeaWing named Fatham, and a NightWing seer named Clearsight to come up with a way to save all the kingdoms from his anger.
