The Wings of Fire plot comes full circle in an incredibly satisfying way!

This original 5-book arc began with a dragon who didn’t want to be part of some great prophecy and ended with a dragon who feared that no prophecy would mean no happily ever after or greater purpose to the horrors of war and the suffering they had to face to get here. And yet the conclusion they both come to in their own ways is that it’s not silly to believe in a story if it gives you hope because at the end of the day fate is what you make of it. Your nature and the circumstances of your birth do not dictate who you are or who you choose to be.

"We’re not doing this because some prophecy told us to, but because it’s the right thing to do and there has to be a better way."
