Rocco is the only villager with wings. His wings are blue and at night, also bioluminescent. Rocco is captured by the beautiful but cruel urvogels (winged human-like creatures) living on the cliffs of Upper Terrakesh. He witnesses the terrible punishment of urvogels having their wings cut off. Queen Harpia has decreed that private reading and music making are crimes - contrary to flock or colony principles. Rocco's new friends, Basalt, Vesta, Magma and Iggy are facing trial. If convicted they may lose their wings. Rocco must decide to risk everything in helping them, or escape on his own.

Dragon aging is different in this series- ages up to 8 are dragonet, 9 to 12 is teenager, 12 to 20 is young adult, 20+ is adult. This excuses any questions about aging. It had been eleven years since Crab had died. And Jellyfish missed him. Her brother was the only reason she was alive, and it felt as though it was her fault that he was dead. Life was awful now. Every dragon had a target on their back, and going up to the surface was quite a dangerous task. The remaining dragons of Pyrrhia have waged war on each other, each believing that they had the right solution to fix everything. But in Jellyfish's eyes, it was all so, so wrong. But as bad as it is, Jellyfish has a mostly normal teenage life. Friends to hang out and laugh with, school to keep her occupied, and the constant desire to love and go to parties. It really couldn't get worse, right? It did, though. Danger and hatred swoop in on two wings into Jellyfish's life, and it will never, ever be the same. Plus a really creepy prophecy. We love those. Your enemies can cut you, but they will never be the ones to scar you.Complete

Wings of Yesterday
In the city of Daymoor, it wasn't unusual to see people with wings flying above the streets. They were called Wings, a rare minority born with unique genetics that gave them birdlike abilities. For hundreds of years, those with feathers and those without lived in an uneasy harmony. Things weren't always fair, but for the most part, they coexisted in peace. In the countryside, however, it was a bit rarer to encounter them. So when eight-year-old Azure, a country boy, saw Sandra, a Wing, gliding through the sky for the first time, he couldn't take his admiring eyes off her. But he never expected the mysterious girl to become his best friend, changing his life forever. Years passed, and they shared countless memories in the very forest where they first met-a world that was theirs... Until it wasn't. As they grew up, tension began to rise against the Wings and before Azure even knew it, everything fell apart. Started March 22, 2025.
