The Dragonet Prophecy (graphic novel)

This is the page for the graphic novel adaptation of The Dragonet Prophecy. You may be looking for the book instead, or for the prophecy itself.

"...When Scholastic asked whether I’d be interested in adapting my Wings of Fire series into graphic novels, I might have gotten a little bit enormously tremendously excited. To see my dragon characters and the world of Pyrrhia appear like this, in pages and pages of full-color art, is just so incredibly cool. There’s the littlest dragonet, Sunny, staring down their ominous visitor, giant Morrowseer! There’s Clay and Tsunami escaping their cave to fly in the open sky for the first time! There’s Queen Scarlet’s arena where dragon prisoners fight to the death! It feels as though all the pictures that have been fluttering around my head since I started writing the series are coming to life. I can’t wait for the first Wings of Fire graphic novel adaptation, The Dragonet Prophecy, to be out in the world. I hope current readers will love seeing the dragons’ story in a new way, and I hope new readers discover this dragon universe and want to come play in it, too."

Synopsis

Not every dragonet wants a destiny . . .

Clay has grown up under the mountain, chosen along with four other dragonets to fulfill a mysterious prophecy and end the war between the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia. He's not so sure about the prophecy part, but Clay can't imagine not living with the other dragonets; they're his best friends.

So when one of the dragonets is threatened, all five spring into action. Together, they will choose freedom over fate -- on their own terms.

The New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series takes flight in this first graphic novel edition, adapted by the author with art by Mike Holmes.

Plot

(More flying in soon!)

Variation from source

• The introduction takes place during Clay's hatching instead of Hvitur's death.
• Instead of being on her palms, the burn scar Kestrel received from Peril is on the right side of her face.
• The scene where Tsunami wants Clay to jump into the river was cut out, and instead went right to their conversation about escaping.
• The word "bar" was cut out of Dune's line, making him say: "I told you not to teach them that horrible song."
• The scene where Tsunami falls out of the sky while flying and Clay catches her was taken out, along with the scene where Tsunami tries to run into a tree to put her wing back into place.
• Instead of releasing the scavengers in the pitting of Tsunami and Starflight, they release the IceWing prisoners.
• When Scarlet is about to use Peril's room to hold Clay, Tsunami, and Starflight, Queen Scarlet's portrait isn't burned off the wall, and Scarlet is angry at Peril for no reason.
• There is a scene where Peril puts her talon on Kestrel's back, but Kestrel doesn't burn up.
• Dune has all four of his legs, with only a claw scratch wound on his right foreleg. His wing membrane is also only slightly torn instead of being ripped apart completely.
• Instead of having his tail paralyzed by a scavenger, Osprey lost both of his wings during the war.
• Nobody laughs at Kestrel while she's in her cell. In the original book, it stated that SkyWings walked by laughing at her.
• Scarlet doesn't interact with the scavenger that Clay and Tsunami see when they first come out of the mountain.
• In the book, Peril sometimes actually bursts into flames instead of her scales being melting hot.
• Scarlet's throne room has veins of gold shooting across the walls, not cloud shapes.
• In the book, Peril betrays the dragonets by locking them in a tower, not taking them down the waterfall.
• The short scene where some of Burn's soldiers are looking for the dragonets in the mud kingdom is cut out.
• Kestrel at the end of the book is only stabbed by Blister, not clawed in the throat.
• The guardians do not say that they are going to kill Glory. The dragonets somehow figure that out themselves.
• Clay doesn't encounter the white acidic goop when exiting the river.

Notes

• On the Wings of Fire Scholastic Website, (www.wingsoffire.scholastic.com), Admin Gavin B, the author of the book "Josh Baxter Levels Up", posted a forum page revealing the news at 12:53 pm on June 2, 2017. He also posted a special message from Tui Sutherland to all her FanWings, which is in the quote above.
• This book was briefly advertised in the most recently released WOF book, Darkness of Dragons.
• According to a video advertising the graphic novel's release, Scholastic is planning on making an adaptation of the first book and an adaptation of the Lost Heir (Book 2), and if they both sell well in stores, they will most likely continue the graphic novel adaptations.
