The first book in my Wings of Fire Fanfiction series. 113 years after Queen Thorn ascended to the Sandwing throne. Trouble has been brewing in many of the Pyrrhian Kingdoms, all seeming to stem from a mysterious cult-like religion that has been spreading lies, murdering hybrids in cold blood, and searching to wreak havoc in Ventus, a separate continent with an entire new Tribe of dragons. Scorpion, a young hybrid who remembers vividly the attack on her own family that left her as the only survivor, goes on a quest to find and gain allies wherever she can, including a visit to Ventus to try and gain help from the mysterious 'SwiftScales'. As the Faithful close in on them, however, it becomes more and more apparent that they must join forces, or be crushed underneath the enemies talons. (The art is not mine)

Lightningtail looked up. The herring had parted around her, and she could clearly see the way out of the water. As she was swimming up slowly, something blocked the sunlight above her. Lightningtail almost choked on seawater. There was a dragon unlike any she had ever seen before her. . . . SwiftScales created and owned by OhDearCharlie and ThunderclanWarrior12.
