Wings of Fire #1-#4
by Sutherland, Tui T.
Five dragonets are raised in a cave, isolated from the world and groomed to fulfill a prophecy that will end a brutal, generations-long war. But when they decide to break out and find their own path, they discover that the world outside is far more dangerous and morally complicated than their tutors ever let on. This series moves at a breakneck pace, throwing its young protagonists into political intrigue and physical peril with little time to catch their breath. The writing manages to be fun and accessible while unflinchingly tackling the grim realities of war and the heavy burden of destiny. It is perfect for readers who love high-stakes quests, ensemble casts where every character has a distinct personality, and stories that explore what happens when kids are forced to grow up way too fast.
