Wings of Fire

From the very first book readers are introduced to the seven dragon tribes of Pyrrhia – SandWings, MudWings, SkyWings, SeaWings, IceWings, RainWings and NightWings (and later three new tribes – LeafWings, SilkWings and HiveWings).

Each tribe inhabits a different territory within Pyrrhia and the dragons of each tribe share unique strengths and magical powers, as well as exhibiting human-like behaviour, making them super relatable for middle school readers.

The tribes don’t always get along however – these are stories of war as the tribes fight each other for power and control of Pyrrhia – and Sutherland does not shy away from sometimes violent and difficult themes, with storylines exploring difficult topics such as war, murder, deceit and racism to name just a few (which makes the series compelling reading but also potentially challenging for sensitive readers).

And, despite the fantasy genre, the series explores important real life issues relating to family, friendship and identity, with important life themes of courage, loyalty, destiny and sacrifice.
