SandWings have poisonous tails like scorpions, but they’d die quickly of the cold in the frozen caves of the IceWings. For instance, SeaWings can breathe underwater, but they can’t produce fire like the SkyWings. Each tribe has adapted to their habitat and is fiercely hostile to outside dragons. Dragons are everywhere, from the depths of the sea to the mountain peaks, from the icy arctic to the tropical rainforest. I wanted you to see yourselves in the pages of this dragon world – and now I hope you’ll be able to see yourselves on screen as well.Pyrrhia is a world ruled by dragons.

I wanted the readers to feel that, too-that each of you is important and wonderful just as you are, and you can make a difference. When I started writing this series, I wanted to show that any dragon can be part of saving the world, no matter how shy or weird or prickly or overly enthusiastic they are. FanWings, you will love them, too! In their talented hands, I have faith the TV show will fulfill the dreams of all the people who’ve asked me that question over the years. I hope some of my dragons grow up to be just like her!Īnd I knew the minute I met our showrunners, Dan Milano and Christa Starr, that they are funny, kind, super-nerd kindred spirits who 100% understand what I’m trying to do with the books. Ava is someone who saves the world every day without waiting for any prophecy to tell her what to do. Not just “yes,” but “yes, AND I cannot believe the amazing team who are going to make this so great.” I am so immensely thrilled and grateful that Ava DuVernay is our Queen of Dragons (I’m pretty sure that’s the official title). they mostly just get eaten a lot.)Īnd now I am so excited to invite you into the Wings of Fire world in a whole new way: as a TV show on Netflix! “Will there ever be a TV show?” has been the #1 question I’ve gotten at events almost from the beginning, and the answer is finally yes! They get to be the ones who save the day, fall in love, fight the bad guys, and maybe fulfill a prophecy or two, if they feel like it.

In the world of Pyrrhia, dragons get to have all the adventures.

free will, different ways of handling power, nature and nurture, family and empathy and friendship.Īnd perhaps most of all, I wanted it to be a story told entirely from the dragons’ point of view. I wanted to explore questions of fate vs. I knew I wanted it to be a big epic fantasy with a sense of humor and kindhearted heroes. When I started writing my own dragon series, Wings of Fire, I knew a few important things. I love that they can be funny and fierce, terrifying and loyal, all at the same time. I’ve always loved dragons - from Beauty in Dragonsong to Kazul in Dealing with Dragons, from Falkor to Sisu, from Temeraire to Toothless.
