Her eyes were black, and they were going to "swallow him whole." He noticed that her eyes were not SkyWing eyes anymore. Hailstorm, too entranced by her eyes to move, could not run. She reached for something around her neck.
The SkyWing turned and approached him, making the IceWing prince feel cold with fear. After a short discussion, Scarlet told the strange SkyWing that Hailstorm was dangerous and needed to be imprisoned. A strange SkyWing was standing near the Queen's throne. Later, when Hailstorm woke up, he realized he was face to face with Queen Scarlet. Finally, the SkyWings decide to let Winter go and knock out Hailstorm. Winter was entirely against the idea and tried to be brave and stay with Hailstorm, so his older brother started shaming him and calling him useless, knowing that it was the only way to get Winter to leave. Hailstorm attempted to make a deal to let Winter go and take him instead. Hailstorm threatened to kill the SkyWings that dared to come close with his frost breath, but the main SkyWing in front did not seem to care.
Winter became increasingly worried that they might be caught by the SkyWings, but Hailstorm assured him that he could fight off a couple of SkyWings if they did get caught, and they were doing this for Winter's "weird little obsession." Hailstorm continued to boast about his position in the Ice Kingdom and being the second-in-command of the IceWing army.įourteen SkyWings appeared from the trees behind them, prepared to kidnap both IceWing princes. He was taking his younger brother, Winter, out flying to find a scavenger den near SkyWing territory. The book began two years earlier from Hailstorm's PoV. To Catherine and Ella, because you are awesome and could definitely save the world (from dragons or for dragons, either way)! Plot Prologue Shaking rain off his tail with a clatter of spikes, Winter ascended into the storm and took off without a glance at the other dragons. If only you were everything an IceWing should be. The look that said, If only we'd lost you instead of Hailstorm. He could see their faces so clearly that look they got whenever he did something wrong. Mother and Father would be more than disappointed in me. Why was he agreeing to this? An IceWing warrior didn't need help from anyone else, least of all a pack of misguided dragons from other tribes. But even the bravest dragons can't follow him to the Ice Kingdom, where he'll have to face the greatest threat of all: his own family.
When their search leads the dragonets straight into Queen Scarlet's vicious talons, Winter is grateful to have some help. They don't seem to understand that IceWings, the most superior of all dragon tribes, can fix their own problems. Winter's new clawmates, Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou, won't let him make this dangerous journey alone. When his sister, Icicle, runs away from Jade Mountain Academy, fleeing terrible crimes and possibly planning to commit more, Winter knows that they both need a second chance to make things right - if only he can find her. Winter has been a disappointment to his royal IceWing family his whole life.
