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, at Clearsight's arrival at the Lost Continent, and was revealed (through the Scholastic forums) to be through 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 female SilkWing named Blue. It has also been confirmed that the main point of view of the book will be a resident of the Lost Continent 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 claimed to have been extinct. Some other info includes that there will be no animus dragons or animus magic on Pantala, the Lost Continent, because Tui felt like animus magic was getting too important in the plot. Also, author Tui T Sutherland 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 cared for by 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
