Winter Turning is the seventh book in the New York Times bestselling series Wings of Fire, scheduled to be published on June 30th, 2015. It has been confirmed that the protagonist of the book is a white and blue, male IceWing dragonet named Winter, who first appeared in the sixth book Moon Rising.
Synopsis
Daring mission..... or deadly mistake?
Winter has been a disappointment to his royal IceWing family his entire life. When his sister, Icicle, runs away from Jade Mountain Academy, fleeing terrible crimes and possibly planning to commit more, Winter knows that they need a second chance to make things right -- if only he can find her.
Winter's new clawmates, Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou, won't let him make this dangerous journey alone. They don't seem to understand that IceWings, the most superior of all dragon tribes, can fix their own problems. When their search leads the dragonets straight into Queen Scarlet's vicious talons, Winter is grateful to have some help. But even the bravest dragons can't follow him to the Ice Kingdom, where he'll have to face the greatest threat of all: his own family.
Summary
Winter has always been a disappointment to the royal IceWing family unlike his sister Icicle, who has been raised to challenge the IceWing queen. But now that Icicle has broken the truce and escaped from Jade Mountain Academy, Winter, accompanied by his new clawmates Moon, Qibli, and Kinkajou, embarks on his own quest to free his brother from the clutches of Queen Scarlet, and win the respect of his family.
