An eavesdropping Clay brings the alarming news back to his friends and they decide they must escape. Not everyone is convinced until a special visitor, the dragon who made the prophecy, declares the RainWing Glory dispensable and orders her killed before he returns. Tsunami is the dragonet most anxious to leave and see the world and tries to talk the others into leaving. So for six years Clay, a MudWing, Tsunami, a SeaWing, Starflight, a NightWing, Glory, a RainWing, and Sunny, a SandWing, have been holed up in caves training and studying together with three caretakers who are more drill sergeant than surrogate parent. According to a prophecy, these dragonets will bring Pyrrhia together again. An organization called Talons of Peace gathered dragon eggs from five different clans and raised the dragonets in secret. In A DRAGONET PROPHECY, dragons in Pyrrhia have been warring for nearly two decades, but there is some hope for peace. One "scavenger" (human) gets his head bitten off, others run around a dragon banquet with other livestock until they're picked up and eaten, still more are made to fight in the arena. They're raised by abusive caretakers who almost kill one of the young dragons they deem not useful, a mother rejects her son when she meets him, and many dragons die or are maimed in war, in an arena with blood-thirsty spectators, and in fights: Eggs are dropped wings, necks, and other body parts are ripped through with claws a poisonous tail stabs through a skull a neck is snapped acid spray eats away faces and bodies a flightless dragon is picked up and dropped to his death another is tortured with lack of water until mad and forced to fight. The main characters are these young dragon buddies hoping for peace, but the world they inhabit is a violent one.
While the cover looks like one of the cute characters from The Land Before Time sprouted wings, it's a bit deceiving.
