The Dangerous Gift (Wings of Fire Series #14)

by Tui T. Sutherland Narrated by Shannon McManus

Overview

The #1 New York Times bestselling series continues!

Snowfall didn't expect to be queen of the IceWings at such a young age, but now that she is, she's going to be the best queen ever. All she has to do is keep her tribe within IceWing territory, where it's safe -- while keeping every other tribe out, where they belong.

It's a perfect and simple plan, backed up by all the IceWing magic Snowfall can find. That is, until a storm of unidentified dragons arrives on her shore, looking for asylum.

The foreigners are completely strange and, Snowfall is certain, utterly untrustworthy. But as she escorts the miserable new tribes out of her kingdom, Snowfall is forced to reconsider her plan. Maybe she can only keep her tribe safe . . . if she's willing to risk everything.

Narrator Shannon McManus returns for the long-awaited 14th installment in the Wings of Fire series. Hundreds of Pantalan dragons narrowly escape Queen Wasp’s mind control by braving the long flight across the ocean to the IceWing Kingdom. There Queen Snowfall wants nothing to do with the strangers and is intent on keeping her kingdom safe from other tribes at all costs. McManus portrays each character dramatically, creating distinct personalities that modulate seamlessly between indignation, arrogance, and childlike wonder. McManus’s youthful narration perfectly suits the Queen’s emotional journey to prove herself capable despite her young age. But as the Lost Continent Prophecy becomes clearer, she must risk everything to protect, not only her own tribe, but also all of Pyrrhia. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
