He was terrified for her, admitting that he does love her because she was everything The Indestructible City wasn't. He attempted to lie, for his father listened to [[Boar]] say the dragons scales were a pale orange, which were the same color of Sky's scales.

For Kari, who would totally ride a dragon (and who saved this book!)
Summary
This special edition of the #1 New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series soars back in time to give readers a glimpse of Pyrrhia through new eyes.
In the shadow of wings . . . humans fight for survival.
Ivy doesn't trust the Dragonslayer. He may be her father and the beloved ruler of Valor, but she knows he's hiding more than the treasure from the sand dragon he killed two decades ago.
Leaf doesn't trust dragons. They're the reason his favorite sister, Wren, is dead, and now he'll do whatever it takes to slay even one.
Wren doesn't trust anyone. She swore off humans after her village tried to sacrifice her to the dragons. She only has one friend, a small, wonderful mountain dragon named Sky, and they don't need anyone else.
In a world of dragons, the humans who scramble around underfoot are easy to overlook. But Ivy, Leaf, and Wren will each cross paths with dragons in ways that could shape the destiny of both species. Is a new future possible for all of them . . . one in which humans can look to the skies with hope instead of fear?
Quote on the back
This was a pretty terrible plan, saving a baby dragon who would probably eat her just as soon as it was big enough. But Wren had a feeling someone had decided to toss aside this baby dragon, exactly the way her parents and her whole stupid village had thrown her away.
People are awful and untrustworthy and mean, so I'm going to make friends with a dragon instead.
"We don't need anybody else, right, little dragon?" Wren said, stroking one of its tiny ears. "If they don't want us, we don't care. We can look after each other, can't we?"
Plot
Prologue
Twenty years ago, Stone and Rose come along with Heath in secret to help him complete his quest to become wealthy and powerful by stealing Queen Oasis's treasure. Stone and Heath wait outside for Rose, who went in another time to get more treasure. Stone talks to Heath about how treasure won't make him powerful, which Heath disagrees with. Rose climbs back out of the palace, along with the treasure, and the trio begins to sneak off. However, before they get very far, Oasis catches up with them. They fight her, and Heath gets hit with a burst of fire from Oasis. Stone eventually kills Oasis and wins the fight by stabbing her with his spear. Heath then cuts off Oasis's tail barb as proof of her death. Stone notices that Rose has gone missing, and Heath tells him he shouldn't worry about it and that they have to get away anyway since more SandWings are coming their way. They take the treasure and the barb back to their village, but Stone continues to worry about Rose.
Part One
The first part starts off from Wren's point of view. Wren, after having recently turned seven, is unknowingly prepared for sacrifice by the dragonmancer by her parents. She then finds out what they planned to do with her once she is taken through the forest to a river near Talisman. Wren then attacks the dragonmancers, but they still managed to tie her up. Then they leave her at a giant stone slab over looking the river. But she was able to yank off the rope they tie her up with. Then she goes further down the course of the river. She thinks back to what happened during the time before her attempted sacrifice, and back to all of the times, the people in Talisman did her wrong. Eventually, she comes across Sky for the first time, who is tangled in a bush and dying. Wren eventually helps him out of pity and then talks to Sky both to reassure him that he is safe, and to help herself calm down. As they are talking, a rust-colored dragon with yellow eyes and a recent burn on its cheek flies by, and Wren presumes it is hunting. Wren hides herself and Sky from the unknown dragon (presumably Kestrel), which Sky particularly seems to be afraid of. Once the dragon goes away, Wren comes out of hiding with Sky. Wren talks to Sky again and eventually gives him his nickname. They bond, and Wren thinks back to her encounters with humanity, and how she isn't scared since Sky, who is a dragon, is on her side, while everyone else isn't safe from them if they work together.
The perspective changes to Leaf's in the next chapter, taking place after the same time around when Wren dissapeared/banished. Leaf argues with his parents about whether or not the dragonmancers really are good as they couldn't save Wren. His older sister Rowan, is also in the room, and mentions what she heard about The Dragonslayer from her friend Grove.Leaf's parent's started to argue with Rowan that the Dragonslayer is just a story that 'brainless' families talk about. She tells Leaf about what the Dragonslayer did, and Leaf then wants to become a dragonslayer, but his parents are disapproving.
The next chapter is in perspective of Ivy. When Ivy was small, she asked her mother, why her dad, Heath seemed famous. Her mother responds and says that her dad is famous. Then she asks if her dad was famous because he 'Dragonstared'. Then she asked him why Uncle Stone is yelling at the Dragonslayer for running away from the dragons and her mother told her she will tell her when she is older. Whenever Ivy asked other girls to have a sleepover with her, they reject saying that the tail could grow back into another dragon, though everyone invites her to their sleepovers. She then asks her mum whether or not she has seen the treasure. Ivy then becomes suspicious of whether or not her fathers' story is true or not when she was six years old. Her friends asked her to join their secret club; The Truth Seekers.
The perspective changes back to Wren’s in the next chapter. Wren and Sky start to learn each others’ language and talk to each other briefly in both languages. Wren's first word in dragon is ‘snail’. For some reason Sky could not breathe fire. In this chapter they see the Dragonets of Destiny playing (Clay, Tsunami, Glory, Starflight and Sunny) with each other.
Chapter Five starts by Leaf not guessing that his second favorite sister would be Rowan. Rowan helps Leaf try to become a Dragonslayer by helping him train. Both of them start to speculate how many dragons are known. Rowan said there are around six dragons known.
Chapter 6 starts off by Ivy’s mother trying to make an excuse to Violet and Daffodil that Ivy still had homework but Ivy told her mother that she was free now. She was surprised that the Truth Seekers had survived this long.
Epilogue
The epilogue for this book is in the point of view of Undauntable. He was looking outside his window hoping that Wren would come back to The Indestructible City. It was around fifty-nine days since he proposed to Wren, who didn't accept it and stormed away from him. He was worried that maybe she was killed by a dragon. He even wondered what would happen if he ran away with her, only to dismiss that idea, because it was much safer inside the walls of The Indestructible City. His father then found him and beckoned for him to follow. Once he did, his father said that the spy, Boar, who was sent into Valor to become a close guard to him, said that Heath wasn't the actual Dragonslayer and that Stone was, but Stone was a lost cause. He then said he had very 'interesting news'. The news was about a girl who could speak Dragon and had a dragon who she controls (Sky). Undauntable realized that this is Wren. He was terrified for her, admitting that he does love her because she was everything The Indestructible City wasn't. He attempted to lie, for his father listened to Boar say the dragons scales were a pale orange, which were the same color of Sky's scales. His father could tell he was lying and ends the epilogue with saying that he will control Wren and take over the world. The book also ends with Undauntable swearing he will protect Wren for as long as he can.
Trivia
- The dragon on the front cover has been confirmed to be General Sandstorm.
- The scene on the front cover does not actually occur in the book, and Sandstorm dies before Leaf and Wren are reunited.
- On the back cover, various heads can be seen on the Stronghold's wall spikes. There seems to be at least one head from each tribe, including two RainWing heads that look similar in color to Queen Glory's. The tower in the background is also likely Burn's Weirdling Tower.
- Many events in the book mirror events that took place in the first arc, such as Wren watching the young Dragonets of Destiny through the cave's sky hole, Clay saving Leaf from Queen Scarlet's dinner party, and the battle between the Outclaws and Burn's forces.
- Even though the 'fixed' release date was March 3rd, copies of Dragonslayer were in print as early as January, which could be found at school book fairs.
