About this book
In a world ruled by rival dragon tribes, five young dragonets are raised in secret to fulfill an ancient prophecy that could end a generations-long war. Trained by the Talons of Peace, they’ve been told their destiny is to save Pyrrhia—whether they want to or not. When the dragonets take their fate into their own claws, they discover the world is bigger, and more dangerous, than they imagined. Fast-paced action, rich world-building, and witty dragon banter make this a favorite for fantasy-loving middle graders.
Setting: the dragon-inhabited continent of Pyrrhia during a tribal war; a hidden cave and various dragon kingdoms
