Template:SpoilerTLC Template:Infobox Book 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, taking place at Clearsight's arrival on the lost continent of Pantala, and was revealed through the Scholastic forums to be from 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 SilkWing named Blue. It has also been confirmed that the main protagonist of the book, Blue, will be a resident of Pantala and that it will take place there. This was confirmed by Tui T. Sutherland at the Darkness of Dragons launch party[1]. 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, the SilkWings, LeafWings, and HiveWings, with one of them being claimed to be extinct. Another piece of information is that there will be no animus dragons or animus magic on Pantala because Tui felt like animus magic was getting too overwhelming in the plot. Also, Tui revealed that Clearsight 's arrival had a huge impact on the SilkWings and other tribes that live there. She also mentioned that the injured dragon from Pantala last known to be in the care of Jerboa's daughter in the epilogue of Book 10 will have an important role, but Tui is not quite sure what she will do yet.

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." - Amazon

Trivia

  • The name of the lost continent, Pantala, comes from the genus of dragonfly Pantala, much like the name of the "original" continent, Pyrrhia, comes from the genus of moth Pyrrhia.
  • The existence of the continent of Pantala was confirmed during the Darkness of Dragons launch party.
  • The book will be centered around a prophecy, but Tui hasn't thought of it yet.
  • New characters from the Pyrrhian tribes will appear in the third arc.
  • Moon and Qibli will be involved in the third arc.
  • Tui said we would take a break from animus magic in the third arc since it was becoming too overwhelming in the plot.
  • The prefinal cover was discovered on December 25th, 2017.
  • This is the third book in which the title is above the protagonist, the others being The Dragonet Prophecy and Moon Rising, which are also the first books of an arc.
  • In her Q&A with Mike Holmes, Tui stated that "there will be three new tribes (more or less)."
  • In her Q&A with Mike Holmes, Tui stated that the dragon on the cover is a "SilkWing " dragon (evidence found here).
  • In a podcast she did with the New York Times (found here[1]) she stated that there will be three new tribes, two of which the main characters encounter and the third of which is believed to be extinct.
  • The colors of the SilkWing on the cover were changed from shades of green to purple. It is unknown whether SilkWings have varying colors (purple and green) or if they are canonically purple.
  • Recently there was a reading of the prologue which confirmed that SilkWings can be gold and one of the other tribes can be green.
  • When Clearsight arrived on the lost continent, the dragons there spoke a different language and very limited "dragon." Tui stated that in current times, they speak "dragon," with limited knowledge of the old language.
  • The protagonist is named Blue.
  • There are three new tribes: LeafWings, HiveWings, and SilkWings.
  • The golden SilkWing in the prologue is named Sunstreak.
  • It is possible that Blue's name comes from the name of the blue morpho butterfly.
