Prologue Summary

A SeaWing named Webs was one of the Talons of Peace guardians who gathered and raised the five dragonets of destiny. During Queen Scarlet’s attack in The Dragonet Prophecy, Webs escaped to warn the Talons of Peace. Now, Webs reports to the Talons, including Nautilus, a SeaWing, and Crocodile, a MudWing. The Talons are angry at his failure to protect and guard the dragonets. Their discussion hints at a secret backup plan. They attack Webs; Crocodile helps him escape and suggests that he return to the SeaWing kingdom, from which he has been exiled. Webs considers her suggestion.

Part 1, Chapter 1 Summary

Tsunami, the offspring of the SeaWing queen, is impatient to find her birth mother, envisioning the fairy tale of The Missing Princess, in which the titular character is welcomed home with great fanfare. Tsunami is still processing the trauma of having to mercy kill Gill in the SkyWing arena. As the dragonets bicker about who should lead the group, they spot a SkyWing patrol and hurry to hide.
