The New York Times-bestselling series soars to even greater heights with a new prophecy and five new dragonets ready to claim their destiny!
Peace has come to Pyrrhia . . . for now.
The war between the tribes is finally over, and now the dragonets of the prophecy have a plan for lasting peace: Jade Mountain Academy, a school that will gather dragonets from all the tribes and teach them to live together, perhaps even as friends.
Moonwatcher isn’t sure how she feels about school, however. Hidden in the rainforest for most of her life, the young NightWing has an awful secret. She can read minds, and even see the future. Living in a cave with dozens of other dragons is noisy, exhausting--and dangerous.
In just a few days, Moon finds herself overwhelmed by her secret powers and bombarded by strange thoughts, including those of a mysterious dragon who might be a terrible enemy. And when someone starts attacking dragons within the academy, Moon has a choice to make: Stay hidden and safe? Or risk everything to save her new friends?

The previous dragonets of destiny have stopped the war, and have decided to build an academy to teach younger dragons to get along better than their ancestors, so another war like that won't happen again. The story is in the point of view of Moonwatcher, or Moon, for short. Moon is a very special Nightwing, and not just because she was raised in the forest away from the other Nightwings. Moon can read minds. Not only that, but she can see the future, at least a little bit. No Nightwing has had those powers, or any for that matter, for centuries, if they even had any at all. All Moon's mother has ever told her was to "Stay hidden, stay secret, stay safe". But when Moon goes to the Jade Mountain Academy, the school set up by the Dragonets of Destiny, there are more dragons there than she's seen in her entire life, so that means so many of others' thoughts swimming in her head she can barely take it. She sees the horrible memories of dragonets who fought and those of ones who lost loved ones. Then she overhears someone saying that they're planning a murder, and needs to find out how to stop it. Suddenly a mysterious voice appears in her head teaching her how to use her powers. Will Moon be able to keep her new friends and solve who the to-be murderer is, or will everyone find out about her secret and not trust her? One disappointment was the death of Carnelian, a Skywing dragon: I was excited at the possibility of finally getting a book in a Skywing's point of view, and there was a great deal of wasted potential I saw in the character (although I still do love the other characters dearly). Wings of Fire in general touches on some pretty mature themes for a slightly younger-audience series, and Moon Rising seemed to up the ante in this regard, touching on the many psychological traumas that can result from a long and grueling war fought partially by youths. Peril, Sora, and Flame especially struck me as very tragic characters, but pretty much all of the characters seemed to have some major issues involving the war and I hope that these theme threads will be continued in the future books of this series arc. Witnessing the healing the characters go through would be very rewarding, considering all of the pain and loss the war caused them. If you liked the previous books in the series then you will most certainly like this, maybe even better! I know I did.
Finally there is peace in Pyrrhia! But it wont last for long......... Moonwatcher arrives at the Jade Mountain School not daring to tell anyone about her powers. All of a sudden she is hearing a strange voice in her head. Could it be a terrible enemy or, a friend? Is someone planning an attack at Jade Mountain Academy? Or will the future be alright and she will have fun with her friends? Find out in Wings of Fire #6: Moon Rising!
moon is one of my favorite characters, I think moon and qibbli should be a ship. ( sorry I do not know how to spell qibbli)

I love wings of fire so much all I want is to have the complete colection:I've read the first eight books at least ten times each.
great series things get good at number 6
This is a great book, starts off kind of sad but slowly goes into a story only where you can experience in your sleep. I recommend reading it when your stuck in quarantine.
Moon doesn't like school. She likes to be in her mother's arms. She's is nervous about everything. But for one reason: She can mind read and see the future. She communicates with a mysterious dragon who might be a terrible enemy. It is very nice and I like Moon's appearance.
Do you ever imagine what it would be like to become a dragon? Do you have the wildest dreams of living in a dragon world? If you do, this book is definitely for you! Wings of Fire is guaranteed to satisfy you with the sweet twist of a great book. Moonwatcher has always lived a fairly happy life—with all the food she could eat, away from the other dragons of her tribe, who would do anything to expose her and her mother, Secretkeeper. That is, until her whole world turns upside down. Until she’s discovered in the rainforest by her tribe, and becomes an outcast. In a whirlwind of preparation, Moonwatcher is whisked away to Jade Mountain Academy, a school for young dragons...and fitting in is much harder than she thought. Soon, she finds herself overwhelmed with everything that goes on at the academy—and to make matters worse, she’s a mind reader who has to hide her powers! Then, when a mysterious dragon from within Jade Mountain starts to attack the others, she must make a choice; stay safe in her own shadow? Or risk her life to save her new friends? Which one will she choose? Read this book to find out!
