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. Clearsight gets married to a SilkWing named Sunstreak. After that, the book takes place around the time of Darkness of Dragons, from the point of view of a male 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 the LeafWings being claimed to be 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." - Amazon

Prophecy

Turn your eyes, your wings, your fire

To the land across the sea

Where dragons are poisoned and dragons are dying

And no one can ever be free.



A secret lurks inside the eggs

A secret hides within their book.

A secret buried far below

May save those brave enough to look.



Open your hearts, your minds, your wings

To the dragons who flee from the Hive.

Face a great evil with talons united

Or none of the tribes will survive.


Plot

Prologue

The prologue begins with Clearsight flying through a hurricane. She notices a small hut on an island, which is promptly blown into the storm. Finally she reaches Pantala. Upon her arrival, 2 dragons emerge from the trees. One is a brown-and-green LeafWing, the other a primarily gold SilkWing. The SilkWing knows a bit of “dragon”, and Clearsight gets basic communication across. She warns them about the hurricane that is coming, and after the dragons discuss her in their language, they agree to evacuate their territory. They bring her to their home, where they announce to their 2 tribes her arrival. There, she witnesses many new futures. Finally, as they fly to escape from the storm, she tells the SilkWing (Sunstreak) that she comes from Pyrrhia, and he tells her this is Pantala.

To be continued...
