The #1 New York Times bestselling series is back with a brand new arc! Discover what happens next in this thrilling addition to the Wings of Fire saga.

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.

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.

Sora and Umber

I think Sora and Umber should come back, maybe with a story of some new villain.

I think this time it could be a Mudwing Prophecy, and clay’s siblings could be in it.

Are you sure? I feel like 5 books based on just mud wings can become boring and I think that mud wings do need more attention since the lost continent and that there should be multiple books on clay, tsunami and the other prophecy dragon’s siblings would be cool, as long as they are not the same tribe for an entire prophecy.?

I think that would be a terrific idea? Maybe about what happened after they left, who they met, and what they did all leading up to the events of the 15th book. After things were up to date they could try to return to the second continent because of some prophecy or whatnot where things go terrible wrong, hence the new villain.
