One night while she was out, Naomi comes back with an egg. Everyone gets a little nervous, of course, because the last egg they dealt with was the poisonous wasps’. Naomi reassured them, but what is actually in the egg? And what weird adventures will it get into, dragging the Turtles along unwillingly! Only the girls Sophie, Naomi, Mikito, and Julie are in this story, and it’s in third person most of the time.

Long ago stood the kingdom of Requiem, a land of men who could grow wings and scales, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons. Requiem ruled the sky. But Dies Irae, a tyrant leading an army of griffins, hunted Requiem's people, burned their forests, and shattered their temples. Requiem fell. This ancient land now lies in ruin, its halls crumbled, its cries silenced, its skeletons littering the burned earth. In the wilderness, a scattering of survivors lives in hiding. The griffins still hunt them, and every day promises death. Will Requiem's last children perish in exile... or once more become dragons and fly to war?
