Wings of Fire (novel series)
Wings of Fire is a series of children's fantasy novels written by author Tui T. Sutherland and published by Scholastic. Over 14 million copies of the books have been sold and it has been on the "New York Times" bestseller list for more than 122 weeks. The series currently consists of three arcs, which focus on young dragons fulfilling prophecies in a fantasy world. Each arc consists of five books, and each book centers on its own protagonist whose story is told through a third person limited perspective. At present, a total of fifteen  books in the main series have been released from 2012 to 2022. The world of "Wings of Fire" is made up of two continents that are populated by dragons – Pyrrhia (the focus of Books 1 through 10) and Pantala (the focus of Books 11 through 15). Pyrrhia is home to seven tribes – MudWings, SandWings, RainWings, SkyWings, IceWings, SeaWings, and NightWings – while Pantala houses only three tribes – HiveWings, SilkWings, and LeafWings. Each tribe is ruled by a queen, and each tribe also has a royal family. Both continents are also inhabited by humans (called "scavengers" by the dragons) who are seen  as nothing more than animals and are even sometimes eaten. "Wings of Fire" is an anti-war series, and the protagonists usually put an end to major conflicts (like wars and animosity between tribes) through pacifist means, while trying to keep as many dragons from dying as possible. While the books are written for children, they deal with heavy and dark subject matter like abuse, murder, violence, oppression, and attempted genocide. A series of "special editions" called "Wings of Fire: Legends" give context to significant historical events and figures that had an impact on the main series. Currently, there are  only two Legends books, "Darkstalker" and "Dragonslayer". "Wings of Fire: Winglets" are a series of short stories that peer into the lives of minor characters. Four Winglets have been released. While these Winglets were originally only available as e-books, they have all since been published as print copies, including a complete Winglets collection. Television series adaptation. An animated television series is in development with ARRAY and Warner Bros. Animation for Netflix. Ava DuVernay will helm the project which includes ten, 40-minute episodes. Graphic Novel adaptation. Since 2018, the series has been adapted into graphic novels, illustrated by Mike  Holmes. As of 2022, the entire first arc of the "Wings of Fire" novels have been adapted into graphic novels.
