Talons of Power (Wings of Fire Graphic Novel #9)

The New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series soars to new heights in this graphic novel adaptation. For every villain, there is a hero … Turtle isn’t one of the heroes he reads about in stories. If he were, he’d use his animus powers to help Pyrrhia — instead of keeping his abilities a secret, even from his own sister. Now that Darkstalker, the sinister and impossibly old dragon from Pyrrhia’s most notorious legends, has returned, Turtle knows his own role is simple: hide. And stay hidden. The more he watches Darkstalker from the shadows, the more Turtle knows that someone needs to stop the powerful dragon. A real hero. But Turtle is running out of time to find one, which means … he might have to try to save the day himself. - An epic dragon fantasy series for 9+ readers, perfect for fans of Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter - With vibrant and captivating illustrations by Mike Holmes, this is a one-of-a-kind reading experience - The Wings of Fire series has been a New York Times bestseller - Over 30 Million copies in print!
