'''The Lost Continent''' is the eleventh book in the ''Wings of Fire'' series and the beginning of the third arc. Amazon's current release date is June 26th, 2018. The prologue will be set 2,000 years ago, at [[Clearsight]]'s arrival at the Lost Continent, and was revealed (through the Scholastic forums) to be through Clearsight's point of view. After that, the book takes place around the time of ''Darkness of Dragons'', from the point of view of a Pantalan dragon. It has also been confirmed that the main point of view of the book will be a resident of the Lost Continent and that it will take place there. This was confirmed by [[Tui T. Sutherland]] at the ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]'' launch party<ref>http://wingsoffire.scholastic.com/forums/topics/290060</ref>. On the Scholastic Forums, Tui revealed that the dragon on the cover is from a new tribe called the SilkWings, and that there are three new tribes in all, with one of them claimed to have been extinct.

== Summary ==
"''For centuries there have been rumors of another continent on the dragons' planet -- another land far across the ocean, populated by tribes of dragons very different from those we know. But there's never been any evidence, and most dragons dismissed the rumors as fairy tales.''

''Until now.''

''Because it turns out the stories are true.''

''And the other tribes are coming.''" - [https://www.amazon.com/Wings-Fire-Tui-T-Sutherland/dp/1338214438/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1504151600&sr=1-3 Amazon]

== Trivia ==
* Pantala is a genus of dragonfly, much like Pyrrhia is a genus of moth.
* Pantala was revealed during the Darkness of Dragons launch party.
*The book will probably be centered around a prophecy, but Tui hasn't thought of it yet.
*New characters from the [[Pyrrhia]]n tribes will appear in the third arc.
*Tui says she has not yet chosen a name for the protagonist.
*[[Moon]] and [[Qibli]] will be involved in the third arc.
*[[Tui T. Sutherland|Tui]] said we would take a break from [[Animus Dragons|animus]] magic in the third arc, since it was becoming too overwhelming in the plot.
*The cover was discovered on December 25th, 2017.
*This is the fourth book in which the title is above the protagonist, the others being ''[[The Dragonet Prophecy]]'' and ''[[Moon Rising]]'', and Winter Turning.
*In her Q&A with Mike Holmes, Tui stated that "there will be three new tribes (more or less)."
*In her [http://wingsoffire.scholastic.com/forums/topics/309721 Q&A with Mike Holmes], Tui stated that the dragon on the cover is a 'SilkWing' dragon (evidence found [http://wingsoffire.scholastic.com/forums/topics/309721?page=3 here]).
*In a podcast she did with the New York Times (found here[https://www.nytimes.com/podcasts/book-review]) she stated that there will be three new tribes, two of which the main characters encounter and the third is believed to be extinct.
*It is highly likely that SilkWings are based on ''Bombycidae'', a family of moths that include silk worms, though Tui has not mentioned anything concerning the validity of this theory.
