Winter Turning

The New York Times and USA Today bestselling series soars to even greater heights with a new prophecy and five new dragonets ready to claim their destiny!

Daring mission... or deadly mistake?

Winter has been a disappointment to his royal IceWing family his whole life. When his sister, Icicle, runs away from Jade Mountain Academy, fleeing terrible crimes and possibly planning to commit more, Winter knows that they both need a second chance to make things right - if only he can find her.

Winter’s new clawmates, Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou, won’t let him make this dangerous journey alone. 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.

Best known for her Wings of Fire series, Tui has captured the hearts of readers with her captivating tales of dragons, heroes, and complex moral dilemmas. Her books are celebrated for their vivid imagery and emotional depth, blending fantasy and adventure in ways that resonate deeply with young readers and adults alike.

Born in Venezuela and raised in the United States, Tui's multicultural background has deeply influenced her storytelling. Her love for literature began early, drawing inspiration from the books she devoured as a child—stories of magical worlds, mythical creatures, and the personal growth of characters who faced seemingly insurmountable odds. This foundation laid the groundwork for the epic narratives that would later shape her career as a writer.

Tui's Wings of Fire series has become a staple of middle-grade fantasy, earning a dedicated fanbase that spans the globe. The series, which delves into the lives of dragon tribes, weaves themes of identity, friendship, and destiny, bringing to life a world where the stakes are as high as the soaring heights of the dragons themselves. But Tui’s storytelling doesn’t just stop at dragons; her characters are intricately drawn, facing challenges that mirror the complexity of real-world issues, all while navigating a richly constructed world filled with magic and mystery.

Her writing style is both engaging and accessible, with a unique ability to craft action-packed narratives that are underpinned by profound emotional depth. Readers often find themselves rooting for her characters, not just because they’re heroes, but because they’re relatable, grappling with challenges that reflect universal themes of growth, belonging, and courage.

Beyond Wings of Fire, Tui has written a variety of other works, including the Menagerie series, which takes a darker, more mysterious turn into the world of magical creatures. Each new series showcases her versatility and ability to create unique worlds and compelling plots that captivate the imagination.

Tui’s success has garnered recognition, with her books appearing on numerous best-seller lists and receiving praise for their ability to spark imagination and inspire readers of all ages. Whether she's crafting stories about the internal struggles of a young dragon or exploring the relationships between complex characters, Tui’s work continues to push the boundaries of what fantasy literature can achieve.

In her own words, Tui once said, "The best stories are the ones that transport you to a new world, but also leave you changed when you return." And with each book she writes, Tui does exactly that—offering her readers not just a chance to escape, but to reflect, grow, and understand themselves a little better through the adventures she creates.
