Escaping Peril

The graphic novel adaptations of the #1 New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series continue to set the world on fire!

Peril has been loyal to Queen Scarlet, who used her fatal firescales to kill countless dragons in the SkyWing arena. Now, Peril is loyal to Clay, the only dragonet who has ever been her friend. So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes.

There's just one problem: a strangely persistent SeaWing, Turtle, insists on coming along, too. Turtle is worried about his friends, who left to search for Scarlet and haven't returned. Peril is worried that she might accidentally burn Turtle -- or burn him on purpose, for being so annoying -- and frustrated that she keeps saying and doing the wrong things. She can't escape her firescales, and she can't escape her reputation as the deadliest dragon in Pyrrhia.

So when she's offered a chance to trade everything for a new life, Peril has to decide who she's really loyal to . . . and whether her own scales might actually be worth saving.

The #1 New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series soars to new heights in the eighth graphic novel adaptation, with art by Mike Holmes.

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.
