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, (July 5, 2024)No because it would also undo his immortality spell as wellVisitor, (July 1, 2024)If Peacemaker put on Qibli's earring, wouldn't he become Darkstalker again?That is a fair point.
Visitor, (April 7, 2024)Yes! And make the main character FireflyVisitor, (February 27, 2024)what if the new main characters were the dragonets from Moon's vision in book 6?What vision?
Visitor, (April 7, 2024)Beetlewings do not exist broIt is mentioned in the legend of the hive
Visitor, (July 10, 2024)Only problem is, Darkstalker probably would have shown Moon a vision where Darkstalker ruled Pyrrhia. The dragonets in the vision might have been lost when Darkstalker was defeated.Visitor, (April 7, 2024)Yes!

There is literally NO WAY for Tui to not have sky and peril meet, and also probably wren and “murderbasket.” Undauntable seems like the kind of idiot to go running off to try to save Wren, which will inevitably end in him getting captured by dragons. It would be really unfair to not give Kinkajou a book, since she was supposed to have peril’s, but peril survived, instead of dying. I’m thinking they might finish up with a newly hatched dragonet with animus powers, and…. THEY’RE FROM PANTALA!
Sunny and Ivy and Wren (and probably Leaf) will wind up meeting, and having at least a minorly important (and probably very important) role in the plot. If leaf goes with Wren and Ivy, he will probably meet clay and have to thank him for saving his life.
(Sorry it’s so long, I put a lot of thought into this before I even discovered this website.)
Visitor, (June 17, 2024)I don’t think she’s leaning into myths. There were two “legends” books, and they were all things that could have actually happened. The graphic novels instead of new books, sure, that’s an issue, but she’s not “leaning into” legends (which are pretty much just backstories, not myths.)Visitor, (March 29, 2024)i think that this is actually very probable since Tuit has gone alot into myths of dragons in recent books. I also think that the “what if” senerios should be like 2 for each arc. Like what if clay hadn’t risked his lofe in the river or if he had died in book 5 idk just wanted to say that tuit might lean more into myths about wof than the actual series. Like she’s doing nowVisitor, (March 28, 2024)We need another RainWing book right!?I have a new Wings of Fire series suggestion this is it: (Wings of Fire What if?) an example of this could be What if darkstalker never had Animus, or What if Darkstalker never did the bad things, or what if Wren was obedient or never found Sky?
The Weirdo (DarkwalkerWoF), (July 20, 2024)Exactly what I was saying. Would likely be a similar situation to darkstalker and clearsights dragonets who never ended up existing. It is possible that firefly will still pop up as a character, however we can't assume that she is/will be a character just because of a vision darkstalker showed moon. It wouldn't be the first time darkstalker stopped dragonets from existing by altering a timeline...Visitor, (July 10, 2024)Only problem is, Darkstalker probably would have shown Moon a vision where Darkstalker ruled Pyrrhia.

Visitor, (May 8, 2024)I looked it up and Freedom is a hybrid of mudwing, sandwing, hivewing, leafwing, and rainwingVisitor, (May 3, 2024)Wait what kind of Dragon was freedom?all kinds lol (she was a hybrid of every thing)
Visitor, (July 29, 2024)Huh. I would’ve guessed Leafwing and Skywing as the main two.after all, she’s orange with leaf-shaped and green wings, if I’m remembering correctly.Visitor, (May 8, 2024)I looked it up and Freedom is a hybrid of mudwing, sandwing, hivewing, leafwing, and rainwingVisitor, (May 3, 2024)Wait what kind of Dragon was freedom?all kinds lol (she was a hybrid of every thing)
Visitor, (July 29, 2024)Makes some sense especially when looking at her mother. Apparently she was the biggest dragon cottonmouth had ever seen (mudwing) yellow (sandwing) rainwing and skywing would account for freedoms ferocity (rainwing section of the new book) as well as her fascination with pineapples venom. Leafspeak from a leafwing (obviously?) and idk where beetlewing traits would come from (seeing as before freedom there was no such thing as hivewings) if the post meant beetlewing and nightwing it's possible that the nightwing genes gave a higher chance of gaining a supernatural power? Given that nightwings seem to have the highest chance of having one?Visitor, (May 8, 2024)I looked it up and Freedom is a hybrid of mudwing, sandwing, hivewing, leafwing, and rainwingVisitor, (May 3, 2024)Wait what kind of Dragon was freedom?all kinds lol (she was a hybrid of every thing)
isitor, (July 23, 2024)I think so. If Firefly ends up not existing, I don't think it will be Darkstalker's defeat that did that. The vision Darkstalker showed is the same timeline where Darkstalker gets defeated because Firefly is Glory's dragonet. In Darkness of Dragons, Darkstalker was planning on killing Glory. Also, Darkstalker would then have to explain that to Moon since he promised not to hurt her friends. And that probably means Turtle shouldn't have hidden himself when he was trapped in Darkstalker's throne room since Darkstalker wasn't supposed to hurt Kinkajou.The Weirdo (DarkwalkerWoF), (July 20, 2024)Exactly what I was saying.

I'm at chapter twelve with a total of 26116 words. I was wondering if anyone wanted to see it. If I get at least 10 yeses, I'll post the prologue and chapter one. (I know they suck. They were very early writings (a few years ago), and I'm most definitely working on them. I promise it gets a lot better, trust me!)
Also, just btw, I did ask Tui three or more times in two different ways for permission to publish it. Those were a long time ago. I probably won't publish it until I get a response. I still have a lot of work to do, so we'll see.
And for the people with anything negative they were hoping to share, keep your thought to yourself. I'm just trying to share my creation to people who want it. Deal with it.
Visitor (August 20, 2024)I'm willing to look at it weirdo, but I can't promise not to be critical ;) it's a bit of a habitWe'll see!
(Some of it I will probably already know of, I'm currently trying to pull the strings together in some things. Just btw, not all of it will make sense.)
Visitor (August 20, 2024)Something that hasn't really been mentioned is the fact that the only way to cast a spell right now (besides a new dragonet Animus) is the earring that Ruby currently owns. That and the Pyrite necklace (if it hasn't been destroyed yet I can't remember.) All of Chameleons shapeshifting objects were taken from him and used to make the enchanted strawberry. While it is absolutely possible that Tui adds more characters, I feel like it isn't really necessary. As much as I hate to say it, I feel like the next arc has to be the last one. There are only so many things that need closure and (at least to me) it feels like Tui was beginning to run out of ideas back in book 11. (With the new tribes) While I could be completely wrong on that, it still seems like the story just needs closure at this point. At least for the "main" arcs. She could totally jump forward or backward in years using the same world but new context for a while different story. (Yeah I know she's kinda doing that already, but you know what I mean) Right now I feel like the story of the dragonets of destiny needs to end and a new group take it's place. We've already gotten 15 wonderful books with the iconic group as well as 10 with the jade winglet, but there needs to be a point where certain characters are let go of and new ones are gabbed onto. (I mean completely let go, not these "they're not main characters but they are" shenanigans anymore) Unpopular opinion probably but not the worst one (I hope)I can agree that Tui has spent a little too much time with some characters, but I don't think we need to get rid of them entirely. I do think this will probably be the last arc, tho.
Visitor (August 22, 2024)Something else I feel like Tui should/could do is have the dragonets learn that morrowseer is moons father. It seems like she won't at this point but it could be fun to have another thing pulled out of nowhereYes! And have Wren and Deathbringer/Murderbasket reunite, too! (Preferably in front of Glory.)
Visitor (May 9, 2024)I know a lot of people seem to think firefly will pop up but from my perspective it seems like firefly was/is a dragon from an alternate timeline. We already know that darkstalker and clearsight were able to see a future where they had dragonets (who ended up never existing). I feel like darkstalker would have shown Moon a vision where he had some significant influence (like he became king, but only showed her what was happening at jade mountains instead of the rest of the world, if that makes sense.) Not saying firefly isn't a character, just saying I could see her being another dragonet that never has the chance to exist because of darkstalkers greed.Firefly cant exist because Darkstalker couldnt see visions of him being defeated.
