New Generation
Wings of Fire #16
by Tui T. Sutherland
Umber was never supposed to be a hero . . . .
As the youngest sibling of his MudWing hatching, Umber doesn't have the responsibilities of his bigwings, Reed, nor the heroic destiny prophesied for his brother, Clay. He's always been content with his role as the cheerful, goofy, little brother. But when his sister, Sora, causes a tragedy at Jade Mountain Academy, Umber finds himself on the run and thrown into a whole new role--that of protector.
Read more ...
Umber and Sora fly south in search of a place where they can live far away from other dragons . . . until a kind, hybrid dragon named Mulberry saves him from a kraken attack, and Umber realizes they don't have to survive alone after all. In fact, there's an entire community living on a forgotten island, full of dragons hiding from their own dark pasts.
As the two MudWings settle into the Court of Refuge, they start to realize that nothing in this place is quite what it seems, and the protection it offers comes with a price. Even as Umber falls for Prince Mulberry, he learns he must find a way to unlock the past of this mysterious island to ensure he and Sora have a future. And when the dragons in power try to stop him, he'll have to decide what he cares about most . . . and whether he can be the hero these dragons need after all.
Visitor, (May 8, 2024)are they gonna come back because it would be kinda cool if they found another continent cause they were so scared of getting caughtVisitor, (April 30, 2024)Sora and Umber didn't die. If I remember correctly, at the end of Moon Rising they go into hiding to escape Queen Ruby's wrath because she would have wanted vengeance for Carnelian. They're not dead just "missing"yep, The Adventures of Sora and Umber!
Visitor, (April 7, 2024)Beetlewings do not exist broRead the Prologe of book 11
Visitor, (April 7, 2024)Beetlewings do not exist broBruv they are literally the silkwing and hivewing ancestors
you’d know that if u read the 3rd arc properly
Visitor, (May 19, 2024)they could add like a new tribe and try to make peace w/ everyone... there should be some explanation on how the night wings found the volcano and way they thought a literal VOLCANO is a great place to live, also just saying if there was another animus their name should be powerclaws. and there should be a tribe called deep wings that live like, rly deep and can control water and have all the seawing attributes, but no deepwing animuses bc that would be too powerful. sky should have some connection w peril and be twins. but it wouldn't make sense bc their mom. and to kill the baby with no fire with her own claws at the river. there should be like a space tribe tho bc if we added a new continent, it would be weird cuz we already did that. last sky fire should have an explanation and be connected to bringing back animuses.Sky is perils twin cuz in book 1 at the arena kestrel’s story was that she threw peril’s twin in the river
and where is sky found in the dragonslayer book?
literally soaked and near a river
it made me kinda wish sky went to kestrel when he discovered the cave the prophecy dragonets were in
Visitor, (May 23, 2024)True. I wonder if Peril will ever find out that she didn't kill her twin(Sky).ooh that's a good idea!!
And have a new continent called Pyriata with 8 new dragon tribe like Soul wings
Light wings
Death wings
Poison wings
Star wings
Cloud wings
Flame wings
And Dark wings
And the villains name is DarkFire who is Darkstalkers Unknown SON!!!
I am also the WOFs NUMBER 1# Fan
Auklet: Animus power-- due to the spell from book 14 she can't have been one naturally, so I'm thinking an object that could "restore" an animus's power, or more specifically give power to someone who doesnt have it. Maybe made by albatross as a keepsafe in case his sister ever tried to wipe away his power using Fathoms animus gift. This could lead to the antagonist getting their hands/talons on it and using it (another overpowered villain similar to darkstalker, possibly even bringing him back?)
Peacemaker: Possibly something to do with his Darkstalker past. I don't know what, maybe fighting internal battle after realizing who he was and fighting with the guilt of it all. Could possibly be because of someone "slipping up" around him maybe even having his powers in some way (though I would find that unlikely after he begs Moon to let him keep some of his power, so him keeping them would be a bit weird, but possible I guess.) Could also have the Icewings finding out about his "true" identity and they try to take him out?
Cliff: As already said in a previous comment, I feel like finding out some scandalous truth about Cliffs father could be interesting. Also, if we were to get a Sky and Peril meeting, I feel like his would probably be the book it would appear in. Here's another thing that I think could be interesting: I know some people were theorizing that we get a return of chameleon as a main villain. What if the way we get that is chameleon steals queen ruby/tourmaline's earring and uses it to make himself an Animus/ cast a powerful spell. This could either lead to the main problem that they will need to solve in the plot, or it could just be the final climax of the arc. Honestly I don't know, but knowing that Ruby has one of the few pieces of darkstalkers scroll left and that there are no Animus dragons currently could give Tui something to use for the next arc. Chameleon knows where to get a piece of his beloved scroll and doesn't really seem out of character for him to try to steal it (this would also be when he meets Sky, I think.) Considering the fact that we don't have any Animus dragons until a new one is born, it seems unlikely that the only way to cast an Animus spell could be forgotten about. Especially after Escaping Peril really only left us with a couple relevant things to the next arc (mainly Turtle being an Animus and Scarlet being dead) it just seems like a good plot twist for the dragons to realize that they have a way to bring magic back. (This could even be Cliff's main crisis? Giving up "his mom" in exchange for the safety of Pyrrhia, or even the other way around- everyone giving up on magic in order to help Cliff?)
Dusky: Honestly l, it wouldn't surprise me if Dusky got his own book mainly because he is essentially a clean canvas for Tui to work with. Right now, we only know a few things about him including his now being with his mom, his fear of humans, his traumatic past, and his love/fascination with Luna. Don't really know what Tui would do here, but I feel like the next arc is going to have a lot more humans in it and so having a dragonet who is afraid of humans and who needs to get over that fear could leave us with a decent if not great story.
Bumblebee: Adventures with Daffodil. Similar to Sky and Wren, but actually involved with other people/dragons this time. Just something I thought could be fun. Also her obsession with "Snudoo" could add some fun quirks to the story.
Firefly/Other new characters: really the only thing I can say here is maybe firefly has powers and she has to deal with powerless parents. Considering it's characters we don't even know yet, I can't even give theories for them.
Sora: I know this one hasn't been talked about really, but if we need a mudwing book, I feel like Sora could be a decent choice. First, we can learn what Sora and Umber did after leaving Jade mountain. Honestly, this could even be a legends book. With the character swapping aspect of it, it could lead to a story where they get separated and they have to find their way back to each other possibly with Umber being captured by skywings and needing to be rescued by Sora while she deals with the guilt she was left with after the incidents at Jade mountain. Given that each legends book corresponds to character in an arc (darkstalker's Darkstalker and dragonslayer's Sky Wren and Daffodil) this could lead to either Sora and Umber reappearing without needing a new mudwing book specifically in the arc. This could also lead us into Cliff's book if Umber/Sora's being captured actually happens. Maybe Cliff saves them or they encounter Chameleon in the skywing palace as Chameleon is trying to take the piece of the scroll. Honestly if Chameleon really did try to take the scroll piece in the past, it could also be possible that Sora/U
Visitor, (May 28, 2024)Ermmm soo two things.... Number 1 we already have "poison wings" (leaf wings who went with belladonna instead of sequoia) and darkstalkers son with whom? He was pretty obviously devoted to clearsight so much so that he tried to resurrect her. His having a son (especially one that clearsight didn't forsee in any way) would be rather out of character especially for a dragon who wasn't even full grown (he was only 5 when he was put under the mountain)I think it said that darkstalker didn't have any eggs with clearsight so maybe no son, unless there was another dragon or more history we don't know, also clearsight had eggs with the silkwings and made the hivewing, I think we should know if she had more eggs,
Visitor, (May 30, 2024)Check the comment immediately above the one you replied to. That was what the "ermmm two things" comment was directed to. :) hope that makes some more sense I doubt darkstalker had any dragonets that was why I asked with whom. :)Visitor, (May 28, 2024)Ermmm soo two things....

Visitor, (May 30, 2024) Honestly if Chameleon really did try to take the scroll piece in the past, it could also be possible that Sora/U(Continued)
,it could also be possible that Sora/Umber frees Chameleon from the Skywing dungeon along with their respective sibling. (This is assuming Chameleon already tried and failed to steal the earring.) This could give Chameleon another chance to steal the earring, but this time, he succeeds.
Sorry for the long read. :/
Visitor, (May 20, 2024)I feel like the reason why some people are saying that beetlewings don't exist is because a lot of people don't read the prologues and epilogues...Visitor, (April 7, 2024)Beetlewings do not exist broBruv they are literally the silkwing and hivewing ancestors
you’d know that if u read the 3rd arc properly
I think that (I don't know how to word this...) there should be a new tribe. (Omg no one's ever thought about that!! *That's a lie...*) I feel like it should be on a distant and remote island that no one knows about. Maybe like 2 tribes there... (Cut to the chase...) I feel like they should be called LightWings and StarWings. (I'm not going to go into detail unless someone wants to know.... so just let me know and I'll explain :p
Visitor, (March 29, 2024)Minc and Dusky, also, I like the plot of humans enslaving dragons, but, the size and power difference is definitely there, sure, humans killed a dragon once, but how could they really threaten dragons enough to make them slaves? Maybe with the cannons and numerous other weapons mentioned in book 15? Still, even if scavengers did manage to enslave dragons, there would always be that one sympathetic human, and dragons in hiding, then again, that could be how they escape.Visitor, (February 27, 2024)and another protagonist that I can’t think of at the moment.
Also, what do you think will happen if a NightWing is born on a solar eclipse?
Angel, (June 2, 2024)Also, what do you think will happen if a NightWing is born on a solar eclipse?Personally, I don't think anything would happen. This is because solar eclipse don't happen at night which is key to a Nightwing gaining powers. However, I think this is an interesting idea. On the other hand, what if there was a lunar eclipse or all the moons were lined up or something... Would it be a new ability, enhanced, or in the case of a lunar eclipse, weaker.
If Tui did decide to do something with this though, I feel like the ability(ies) would correlate to the sun as opposed to the moons. Something in mind would be a physical ability. Because the moon affects the mind and mental abilities. I would guess that a solar ability would be something like improved physical strength and speed. Possibly something like improving their natural defenses, such as stronger or hotter flame breath, harder claws and teeth, or better vision or smell.
I still don't think anything would happen mainly because a solar eclipse is sun based, not the moons. However, it may be interesting if rain wings were affected by a solar eclipse. Given they gain energy and power from the sun, maybe something would happen to a rainwing egg if it was hatched during a solar eclipse.
