But once again, she's faced with no alternative. Glory has used her RainWing venom on other dragons to save herself and her friends.something she finds no RainWing would do. So yes, there's some violence, but it's not something the characters take lightly. And so the Dragonets find themselves on a desperate rescue mission that takes them into an adventure just as dark and dangerous as anything that's ever happened to them. RainWings have been disappearing, and no one is doing anything about it. But now she and the other four have reached the kingdom of the rain dragons, and she'll see for herself just what her people really are like.īut though the life of the RainWings is peaceful and rather lovely, it has a darker side. So all her life she's been bullied by the Talons of Peace, and told she's worthless, so she feels angry and defensive. There were problems with the SkyWing egg that the prophecy had called for, and her egg was a last minute substitute. Glory has had a harder life than the others- She's a RainWing, thought to be lazy and worthless by the other dragon clans, and she isn't actually in the prophecy. The Dragonets of Destiny, as they are known, were taken as eggs to a secret cave, and raised by The Talons of Peace.until they escaped, to try to find their destiny (and their families) for themselves.Įach book focuses on a different young dragon, and The Hidden Kingdom is Glory's book.
So the basic premise is that the various clans of dragons are at war, and there's a prophecy that five dragonets will bring peace. Fortunately I remembered before the end of school that I needed it back, and so it returned to me, and I finally got to read it.
My ten year old and his classmates are huge fans of this series, and after my son devoured this one, it disappeared into his extensive reading circle*, and made many children happy**. It was a bit touch and go as to whether I would get a chance to read my review copy of The Hidden Kingdom (Wings of Fire, Book 3, Scholastic, May 2013) by Tui T.
