"When Scholastic asked whether I'd be interested in adapting my Wings of Fire series into graphic novels, I might have gotten a little bit enormously tremendously excited. To see my dragon characters and the world of Pyrrhia appear like this, in pages and pages of full-color art, is just so incredibly cool. There's the littlest dragonet, Sunny, staring down their ominous visitor, giant Morrowseer! There's Clay and Tsunami escaping their cave to fly in the open sky for the first time! There's Scarlet's arena where dragon prisoners fight to the death! It feels as though all the pictures that have been fluttering around my head since I started writing the series are coming to life. I can't wait for the first Wings of Fire graphic novel adaptation, The Dragonet Prophecy, to be out in the world. I hope current readers will love seeing the dragons' story in a new way, and I hope new readers discover this dragon universe and want to come play in it, too."

The Dragonet Prophecy (graphic novel) is a comic adaptation of the first Wings of Fire book, The Dragonet Prophecy. The art is done by Mike Holmes. The book is written from the point of view of Clay. It was officially released on January 2nd, 2018.

Synopsis[]

Not every dragonet wants a destiny …

Clay has grown up under the mountain, chosen along with four other dragonets to fulfill a mysterious prophecy and end the war between the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia. He's not so sure about the prophecy part, but Clay can't imagine not living with the other dragonets; they're his best friends.

So when one of the dragonets is threatened, all five spring into action. Together, they will choose freedom over fate, leave the mountain, and pursue their destiny— on their own terms.

The New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series takes flight in this first graphic novel edition, adapted by the author with art by Mike Holmes.

Plot[]

Prologue[]

The MudWing's egg of the dragonets of destiny is hatching, but Dune objected, saying that only four eggs were present. Kestrel jokes with him, saying that he should explain why to the egg. Webs then bursts in, yelling that he has the fifth dragonet egg, but it is a RainWing egg instead of a SkyWing egg. Dune calls Webs a "brainless salamander," but Webs explains that was all he could get and puts it with the other eggs. Kestrel also insults Webs, saying that he does not understand the prophecy, and Webs counters her by saying that Queen Scarlet destroyed all the SkyWing eggs that would have hatched that night.

Dune then tells the others that the MudWing had hatched. Webs comments that he thinks it is kind of cute and a little blobbier than he expected. Kestrel says that she thinks the MudWing looks dim, which was exactly what she expected. At that same moment, the SeaWing egg starts to break open, and the newborn MudWing notices the SeaWing's struggle to get out of her egg. The guardians decide over a name for the MudWing, and Dune comments they need a muddy name for the MudWing.

They end up naming him Clay. Clay then tackles the SeaWing dragonet, who they later name Tsunami, and attempts to free her, but Dune takes it the wrong way and thinks that Clay is attacking her. Kestrel quickly picks him up and stares at him. Dune asks Kestrel what's wrong with Clay, but Kestrel says nothing is wrong with him and that Clay is just what they need; a little monster.

Kestrel shouting at Clay during a training session.

Part One: Under the Mountain[]

Six years after the introduction, Kestrel and Clay face off against each other in the training cave. Kestrel is taunting Clay and ordering him to fight, but Clay is pleading against it all. In a fit of rage, Kestrel knocks Clay against the wall and pins him down, but then Tsunami steps in, telling Kestrel to stop picking on the MudWing after biting her vulnerable spot on her tail. In response, Kestrel reminds Tsunami that she is defending the dragonet who "tried to kill her." Tsunami responds that she knows they were there to save him and that she gets to hear about the story constantly. Kestrel leaves the room after that, claiming that they were already done, and Tsunami begins talking to Clay, trying to cheer him up by telling him when she is the queen of the SeaWings, she will take care of the grumpy SkyWing.

Tsunami and Clay briefly share their questions about their origins and whether their parents are still searching for them. Then, Tsunami expresses her "readiness" to save Pyrrhia as a prophecy dragonet, while Clay says he is not sure. Their discussion is interrupted by cows' mooing, which means dinner for them, and they race together. Clay makes it to the study cave and thinks about how the only good thing about growing up under the mountain is his friends, Sunny, Starflight, Tsunami, and Glory. The graphic novel explains their personalities and abilities with a lot of detail so that its readers do not get confused. They then act out how the War of SandWing Succession started, with Sunny playing Queen Oasis, Clay as the scavenger who killed Queen Oasis, Tsunami as Burn, Glory as Blister, and Starflight as Blaze. Starflight complains that he had to be Blaze the last time they did this, but Tsunami tells him to stop complaining. The book explains how the war began by describing how the dragonets act it out.

After they finish acting it out, Starflight explains Blister, Blaze, and Burn's alliances and personalities. They then think about which one they should pick, but the dragonets are not sure yet. Clay asks which side the NightWings are on, but Starflight explains that they're not involved in the war, and Tsunami says it is because they're so mysterious and so powerful. Clay says if the NightWings can see the future, they would know who wins the war, and the war could stop right now. Tsunami says that the NightWings should just tell everyone already so they can go home. Clay asks about the RainWings being in the war, and Starflight says they're not involved in the war either. Glory gets angry and says that nobody would want them as allies because they're too lazy and stupid. Clay and Sunny try to reassure Glory, and everyone looks at Glory with a sorry type of glance. Then Tsunami distracts Sunny by asking her to find the weird bug she had caught at dinner, and then Sunny leaves the studying cave to find it.

Tsunami and the other dragonets talk about how they want to escape, then they hear the entrance boulder crash closed. The dragonets then run off to figure out what is going on. Starflight and Glory hide in the shadows near the cave, and Tsunami and Clay hide in the river. They then see Webs, Kestrel, and Dune talking about Morrowseer, and shortly after, Dune tells them that Morrowseer has arrived. The dragonets of destiny come out of their hiding spots to see Morrowseer, and Clay worries about how Morrowseer will react to them and if he can genuinely read minds. Tsunami then goes up to Morrowseer and asks if he can get them out of the caves. Kestrel then looks harshly at Tsunami, calling her an ungrateful lizard. Morrowseer then sees Glory and gets very upset, talking about her with a disgusted tone. Kestrel explains that there was an accident and that they lost the SkyWing egg, and then tells Morrowseer that Webs brought Glory here. In defense, Webs says at least they have five dragonets, and that's what matters. He looks at Sunny and comments that it is more like they have four and a half dragonets. He then asks if Sunny is supposed to be a SandWing and if she even eats enough. The other dragonets besides Glory stand up for her. Tsunami says she eats and that she is a good fighter, and Starflight says it is not Sunny's fault that she is small. Then Clay comments that Glory is a good fighter too.

Morrowseer then tells them to stop talking, and they stop and stare at him fearfully. Morrowseer says that something went very wrong, and Tsunami butts in saying that something did indeed go very wrong and that they are kept like prisoners in the caves, and how it does not make sense to know how to save the world if they have not even seen it. Dune then tells Tsunami to hold her tongue. Morrowseer says he has had enough with Tsunami and then whips her in the face with his tail. Clay then jumps on top of Morrowseer, trying to protect Tsunami, and then bites him, but Morrowseer's scales are too hard to deliver any damage. Morrowseer then quickly shifts, knocking Clay off his back, and Tsunami scratches at Morrowseer's underbelly. Tsunami then falls off of Morrowseer, and she fiercely faces him while Clay tries to recover. Clay tries to think of a strategy to stop Morrowseer, but Sunny sneaks around Morrowseer and bites him in the weak spot near the tip of his tail. Morrowseer is surprised at her intelligence.

Clay then thinks that Sunny is a good fighter, fierce and brave, possibly thinking that Morrowseer will hear him. He then wonders why the guardians did not try to help them. Morrowseer picks up Sunny and, when she lets go of his tail, sets her down. He says that Clay and Tsunami are acceptable, and he will have to see if Sunny is acceptable. Then he looks at Starflight and tells him he assumes he used his powers to see that he was not going to harm Tsunami and that he would take him into the next cavern for a private conversation. Clay looks nervously at Starflight, and Starflight looks sad. Morrowseer then tells the guardians that they will talk about Glory later. Then Morrowseer and Starflight go into a cave, and then Kestrel scorns Tsunami by saying: "How dare you complain about us?" Tsunami then says she was only telling Morrowseer the truth. Then Kestrel says if it were not her job to keep her alive, she would have strangled Tsunami herself a long time ago. Then Kestrel leaves. Tsunami sarcastically says that Morrowseer was a great help. In the background, Tsunami jumps into the river.

Clay asks if Glory is all right, and Glory says she is. She says that they all knew that Morrowseer would hate her, saying that the guardians have not talked about how awesome she is the whole time. Sunny then asks why Glory did not fight Morrowseer because if she did, then Morrowseer and the guardians would know how brave and fierce she is. Glory says, "Why bother?" and that it was obviously a test as her scales shift from purple and yellow to blue. Clay asks if it was, and Glory confirms it to be true and that she failed it the day she hatched as a RainWing. Clay then says he does not care what the prophecy says or what Morrowseer thinks of her and that she is their fifth dragonet. Glory says that what he said is sweet and then says she will take a nap and heads off to a nearby cave. Sunny asks if taking a nap is a good idea at the time, and Glory says that Morrowseer and the guardians think she is lazy anyway and that there's nothing she can do to change that. Then she tells them to wake her if anything exciting happens, but not if it is exciting according to Sunny. Clay then wonders why the prophecy did not include Glory. Then Sunny says, "Hmph!" and says that she does not think everything is exciting and that they just do not think enough things are exciting. Clay then asks Sunny how she would feel about running away. Sunny says they could not complete the prophecy without the guardians because the Talons understand what to do and that everything will be okay as long as they follow the prophecy. Clay says that she is probably right but then wonders if the prophecy is wrong.

Then Morrowseer and Starflight come out of the cave they were in, and Clay calls him over and asks if he is all right and what Morrowseer said to him. Starflight says he is not supposed to talk about it, and then he goes into a cave with some scrolls in it, including his favorite scroll. Starflight tells Clay that Morrowseer said to him that he has a lot to learn. Clay then says that Starflight already knows everything and that he is the smartest dragonet in all of Pyrrhia. Clay notices that Starflight is looking for his favorite scroll and then points it out to him, and Starflight opens it and starts to read it. Clay then remembers that Starflight likes to read his favorite scroll when he is really upset.

Clay then tells Starflight that he thought that Morrowseer thought he was better than any of the other dragonets and that he said that Starflight is a great and noble dragon that he must be because he is a NightWing. Starflight then says that that was precisely what Morrowseer told him. Clay asks if Morrowseer told him when he would get his powers, but Starflight says he needs to study. Clay asks Starflight about what Morrowseer said about Glory, and Starflight says that Morrowseer did not say much except for that he would "take care of the RainWing." Clay asks what that means, and Starflight says he is not sure, but she might be able to go home. Clay believes that Morrowseer and the guardians would never let that happen. All of a sudden, they hear Sunny yelling out, saying: "Stop! You don't have to do this!"

Clay and Starflight then quickly come out of the cave and see Dune and Webs tying up Tsunami to a rock column using chains. Morrowseer has wrapped his tail around Sunny, restricting her from trying to stop them. Sunny then cries out: "What are you doing? Let her go!" Kestrel breathes fire on the chains to melt them together. Sunny asks why the guardians are doing this, and that Tsunami is wonderful, and that if anyone can save the world, it is her. Morrowseer then tells her that the dragon she should follow is Starflight and that NightWings are natural leaders. Tsunami then rages at Kestrel, about to say about what her family would do if they heard about how the guardians treated her, but Kestrel quickly cuts her off, saying that Tsunami's hopes for a wonderful family are far too high and that nobody cares about her, and that when it is time to fulfill the prophecy, she will be alive, the Talons of Peace will have her, and that's all that matters. She then tells Tsunami that a little time away from the river will teach her to be more grateful for what she has. Morrowseer then lets go of Sunny and then tells the guardians that he will be back tomorrow to make sure everything has been "dealt with." Kestrel says she understands, and then Morrowseer leaves. Sunny then begs the guardians not to leave Tsunami chained up, saying she knows they're not that mean. Webs then says it is for their own good and that they only want to keep them safe. Webs is about to say that it might not be the perfect way, but before he says more, Kestrel cuts him off by telling the dragonets to go to bed and that she does not want to hear a squawk out of anyone until morning. Tsunami then taunts Kestrel, telling her: "Really? What else are you going to do to me? What if I feel like singing all night?" Then she begins to sing the Dragonet Prophecy song. Glory complains, Dune tells Webs that it is his fault for teaching them the song, Sunny sings along, and Clay hums along. Kestrel interrupts Tsunami's singing by threatening to chain up her friends, sarcastically saying that Clay would like to spend the night hanging from a stalactite. Tsunami stops singing, and Kestrel says: "Much better." Kestrel and the rest of the guardians leave the room, and Kestrel says to the dragonets that they were all acting vile and that they're lucky that she did not chain them all up.

Clay tries to free Tsunami afterward, but Tsunami tells him to stop, saying he has to find out what the guardians are planning. He overhears their plot to kill Glory to appease Morrowseer. After much thought, the group frantically decides to send Clay down the freezing underground river to escape to the outside and return to free them.

Clay navigates his way through the underground tunnel into a cavern full of glowworms. Clay approaches a waterfall but gets swept across by the current, holding a ledge on the waterfall before he meets up with Tsunami.

The pair then flies out of the mountain and rolls around the mud, realizing it has healing qualities to him and then encounters a scavenger with treasure, who runs away at the sight of Clay and Tsunami, dropping his sack of treasure. Tsunami asks aloud whether they can keep the treasure before Scarlet appears and replies with, "Certainly not. Unless you want to fight me for it." When Clay tries to return the treasure, she twists Clay's talons, then tries to get them to return to her palace with her. Then Tsunami impales Scarlet's tail to the ground to escape, and they flee towards the peaks. Afterward, they see the smoke signal from the other dragonets to locate the caverns they were trapped in and go to rescue them. However, the signal also attracts Scarlet, and the SkyWings take the entire group (minus Dune, who is killed by Queen Scarlet, and Webs, who escapes) hostage.

Part Two: In the Sky Kingdom[]

Clay wakes up on his sky prison. He looks around and spots Peril flying in circles above his head. Clay and Peril start talking, and Peril explains the arena and the fights for the queen's entertainment. Then Peril flies away, saying she needs to prepare for the battle. A while later Horizon, the SandWing besides Clay, is dropped into the arena. Vermilion announces that the fight starts, immediately Horizon tries to escape. Peril blocks all his escape routes. Finally, Horizon launches himself onto Peril, burning himself to death.

Clay wakes up that night to see Peril flying overhead. This time he is more cautious; he keeps his distance, though they still talk. At the end of the conversation, Peril notes that the Scarlet is craving to see Starflight fight. Clay panics and tells Peril to tell the queen to let him fight instead of Starflight.

The next morning Clay wakes up and sees two SkyWing guards, un-chaining him. He is confused and starts talking. The guards grunt and tell hint to stop talking, and they fly through the palace and meet with Scarlet in her throne room. Clay enters and sees Starflight bowing. He imitates his friend. Queen Scarlet starts to talk when a couple of guards drag in Tsunami. Scarlet insists that one of them fights in the arena today, Tsunami and Clay both volunteers. Scarlet picks Clay.

Clay is dropped onto the arena and faces an IceWing named Fjord. First, Clay tries to talk to the hissing IceWing and a few boos sound from the crowd. Fjord snarls and shoots his frostbreath straight at Clay. Clay ducks but still gets injured. Fjord prepares to shoot his frostbreath again, but Clay breaths fire into his mouth just in time. Clay then attempted to suffocate the IceWing, but realized that he did not want to kill him, and Fjord pins Clay down. However, before he could kill him, Glory sprays her venom on Fjord, killing him within seconds.

At night, Peril talks to Clay about his battle about Fjord. Peril thought that Clay somehow killed Fjord using the venom, and noticed Clay's injuries. Peril splashed mud over Clay's injuries.

Clay has a dream about Sunny being stuck in her cage, Starlight being pinned down, Glory being drugged to make her sleep, and Tsunami and Kestrel being killed by Scarlet.

After Clay wakes up, Peril tells him that there is a trial today, and for some reason Scarlet didn't want Peril to see it, despite her thinking they're boring, Clay spreads his wing and hides Peril so she can watch the trial without Scarlet knowing.

The trial is for Kestrel, who was caught by Scarlet when the dragonets got captured. Osprey explains how Kestrel didn't destroy her egg, which had two dragons inside: Peril, who had too much fire, and Sky, who had too little. Scarlet and a few of her soldiers, including Osprey caught her, and Scarlet said she would forgive Kestrel by Kestrel killing one of her dragonets, and she decides to "kill" Sky. Scarlet then orders for Kestrel to kill Peril, however Kestrel tries to flee with Peril, but is too badly burnt and was forced to drop her, leaving her at Scarlet's mercy.

Peril flies down, accidentally breaking the wire that holds the prisoners together while doing so and yells that it's not true and that Scarlet killed her mother. Scarlet reveals that Peril is alive to Kestrel, much to her shock.

Peril calls upon the tradition of the Champion's Shield and stands for her mother. Scarlet blamed Osprey for telling Peril about the Champion's Shield. Scarlet flies up, carrying Osprey up high and dropping him, which leads to his death.

Peril doesn't talk to Clay at night. When Burn arrives and flies over him, Clay thinks that she is Peril at first, until he realized that it is Burn.

Using the wire that Peril had burnt before, Clay managed to make music out of it, and plays The Dragonets Are Coming. Soon, all of the prisoners follow along, and the song continues. Burn interrupts it, and Clay, Tsunami and Starflight are brought into the palace. Scarlet kicks Peril out of her room, and traps the dragonets in fire. Peril frees them, but tells Scarlet because she does not want Clay to leave the Sky Kingdom.

Scarlet finds them, thanks Peril and locks up the dragonets.

The next day, Burn and Scarlet intend to watch the dragonets battle and die in the arena for Scarlet's hatching day.

Scarlet pits Tsunami against a SeaWing, Gill, who had been taken away from all of his water for months, making him go insane. Tsunami and Gill fight, and Tsunami pins Gill down but refuses to kill him. Scarlet taunts her, saying that "maybe war is too scary for her". Tsunami snaps Gill's neck, killing him.

Next, Scarlet pits Tsunami against Starflight, to see what would happen if two dragonets of destiny were to fight one another. They refused to fight one another, so Scarlet brought in the IceWing prisoners to fight Starflight instead. Suddenly, Morrowseer appears from the sky, claiming that "that NightWing dragonet is ours". Scarlet says that she wants to see a NightWing fight IceWings. All of the sudden, a bunch of NightWings slice the throats of all the IceWing prisoners, and Morrowseer takes Starflight.

Scarlet then pits Clay agains Peril, for the Champions Shield battle. Clay pins Peril down, and suddenly Glory sprays her venom at Burn, but Burn uses Scarlet as a shield. This causes chaos in the arena, and everyone fled. Peril frees the dragonets, and they free Kestrel. Kestrel, Peril and the dragonets talk abut where they're going. Peril decides to stay in the Sky Kingdom, Kestrel decides to go on her own after Peril refused to come with her, and the dragonets decide to go for the Mud Kingdom to find Clay's parents.

Part Three: An Egg the Color of Dragon Blood[]

The dragonets arrive in the Mud Kingdom, and they see a battlefield. They look at it and wonder who won, but Sunny said that nobody won because of all the dead bodies. Clay and Glory decide to find Clay's parents, and they find a bigwings of a troop. They ask about Clay's parents, and the bigwings tells them to go to Cattail. Clay and Glory meet Cattail, and find out that Cattail sold Clay for a cow or two. Clay and Glory were about to leave, but then Clay's siblings appeared and stopped them from leaving. Reed introduced himself and the other siblings, Sora, Pheasant, Marsh, and Umber. They taught Clay about MudWing nature, and then Reed asked Clay if he wanted to be their bigwings, but Clay rejected, saying that he has a destiny.

When Clay got back, Morrowseer had dropped Starflight back, and they decided to go to the Kingdom of the Sea to meet Tsunami's family.

Epilogue[]

Blister, Morrowseer and Kestrel met on an island. Morrowseer said that Kestrel had failed him. Kestrel says that she works for the Talons of Peace, and not the NightWings. Blister says that Kestrel probably did the best she could, and Blister also said that it must be nice that the dragonets don't need her anymore, which also means that nobody needs her. Blister then stabs Kestrel's heart with her venomous tail, killing her. Morrowseer knocks Kestrel's body off of the island.

Trivia[]

  • In the official graphic novel trailer, in the scene where Tsunami and Clay see their first sunrise, their lines are switched, with Clay talking to himself and saying "Clay! Our first sunrise!" and Tsunami responding, "It's so bright!" Instead of the other way around, as it is in the actual graphic novel and book.[77]
