Escaping Peril (book)
Escaping Peril is the eighth book in the Wings of Fire series. The official release date is January 5, 2016, with the cover released on the Scholastic Wings of Fire forums on Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Tui T. Sutherland has said that the protagonist will be a SkyWing, and was eventually confirmed at an event that it would be Peril.
Summary
Peril has been loyal to Queen Scarlet, who used her fatal firescales to kill countless dragons in the SkyWing arena. Now, Peril is loyal to Clay, the only dragonet who has ever been her friend. So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes. There's just one problem: a strangely persistent SeaWing, Turtle, insists on coming along too. Turtle is worried about his friends, who left to search for Scarlet and haven't returned. Peril is worried that she might accidentally burn Turtle -- or burn him on purpose, for being so annoying -- and frustrated that she keeps saying and doing the wrong things. She can't escape her firescales, and she can't escape her reputation as deadliest dragon in Pyrrhia. So when she's offered a chance to trade everything for a second chance, Peril has to decide who she's really loyal to . . . And whether her own scales might actually be worth saving.
Trivia
- Instead of following the title pattern of a character name and a gerund, Escaping Peril is the other way around.
- In a book signing, Sutherland revealed a sketch of the full cover, which showed an unknown dragon (probably Scarlet) flying after Peril. If this sketch is turned into the official cover, it will be the second book with closeup of a character other than the main character. The other book being Moon Rising, with a close up of Turtle on the cover.
