"You sought dominance and killed anything for a piece of it. You and your so-called city of future, ripped from the scales not yours." Years after the Tree Wars, set in the elegant and covetous city of Fyrerost and the crumbling Hymeno, a city buried beneath the wealth. When escalating unrest ruptures between the two cities and brawls break out between sides, Nomada must make a choice that will alter the outcome of Pantala forever. _____________________________________________ The hope from within... Before the construction of the hives, two cities stood amid the growing continent. Wealth and prosperity grew above Fyrerost, leaving only dust and scraps for the underdeveloped Hymeno, and conflicts ensued at every corner of the cities. Secluded beneath the thriving city, a new powder called "augments" provides Undergrounders with unfathomable power, but at a cost. Tensions boil with the creation of the "mesmer", a way for Queen Wasp to infuse her mind into any HiveWings. Bloodsheds between the two cities inflicts permanent ruin, and Nomada finds himself in the middle of a war between rogue convicts and deadly poisons. _____________________________________________ Based on Wings of Fire by Tui T.

"Wasp will stop at nothing until she has the whole continent under her empire. There is nowhere on this continent that is safe as long as she sits on her throne." In Fyrerost, Wasp's mesmers become a weapon of control and corruption. In Hymeno, the augments bleed through the Undergrounders and send the Factions into madness. As the fight continues, orders fall when destruction dawns upon both cities, and the completion of the first hive sets the path for the inevitable empire. _____________________________________________ A future of blood and tears... Following Jade's attack and her surrender to the HiveWings, Nomada is left with a devastating defeat as he finds himself isolated in the midst of war between the cities. In Fyrerost, Jade continues to be a threat to those above. A survivor of the attacks, Nomada emerges in cities to which he finds no belonging. However, out of options, he hides in the undercity amongst unfamiliar faces, where he must thrive in a new environment while fighting against his troubling thoughts. When conflicts resurface in the streets of both cities, Nomada is dragged back into a fight he had abandoned. Vivian, a prisoner-turned-convict, wrestles with his position within the undercity as he aims to end the destructive augments from consuming Hymeno. He must fights to stop the escalating tension from growing when augments continue to damage the lives of both cities and shatter the last ounce of accord between HiveWings and SilkWings. _____________________________________________ Based on Wings of Fire by Tui T.
