Wings of Fire graphic novels in order
Tui T. Sutherland’s dragon series has a graphic novel adaptation from Scholastic’s Graphix. Here is the order, with a checklist and age notes.
Wings of Fire is a fantasy series by Tui T. Sutherland about dragon tribes at war and a group of young dragons raised to end it. It began as a series of prose novels, and Scholastic’s Graphix imprint has been adapting them as graphic novels with art by Mike Holmes and Barry Deutsch.
Nine graphic novels are out in the numbered run: The Dragonet Prophecy, The Lost Heir, The Hidden Kingdom, The Dark Secret, The Brightest Night, Moon Rising, Winter Turning, Escaping Peril and Talons of Power. A tenth, Darkness of Dragons, is announced. Darkstalker is a separate spin-off and is not part of the numbered run. Read the numbered books in order.
Graphic novels or the original novels first?
Either works, because the comics follow the novels’ story and use the same titles. The graphic novels are the quicker read and a good fit for a child who likes pictures. Parents who find a scene too intense in the comic may want to preview a volume first, because the art shows battles more directly than a page of text does.

How many Wings of Fire graphic novels are there?
Nine graphic novels are out in the numbered series, from The Dragonet Prophecy to Talons of Power. A tenth, Darkness of Dragons, has been announced. Darkstalker is a separate spin-off, labeled Wings of Fire: Legends, and is not part of the numbered run. Check Scholastic’s series page for the newest release.
What order should I read the Wings of Fire graphic novels in?
Read them by number: The Dragonet Prophecy, The Lost Heir, The Hidden Kingdom, The Dark Secret, The Brightest Night, Moon Rising, Winter Turning, Escaping Peril and Talons of Power. They follow the story of the original novels, so each book builds on the one before it and starting in the middle will be confusing.
Should I read the novels or the graphic novels first?
Either is fine, since the comics adapt the novels with the same titles and story. The graphic novels are quicker and good for children who like art. If you or your child want more detail and a longer read, the prose novels give it. Many readers try one format, then move to the other.
What age are the Wings of Fire graphic novels for?
We place them in our ages 9 to 12 band. They are marketed for middle-grade readers, and the story involves war between dragon tribes. Parent reviews of the novels range widely on how intense the violence feels, so check a volume before giving it to a child under about ten or a sensitive reader.
Is Wings of Fire scary or violent?
It is a war story, so it includes battles, danger and some characters who die. Because the graphic novels show these scenes in pictures, they can feel more direct than the novels. Flip through a volume, or read the first one together, and decide whether your child is ready for it.
What should my child read after Wings of Fire?
Fantasy readers often move on to Amulet, Bone or Mouse Guard. All three are adventure stories with a larger world and several volumes. The Comic Finder can filter by age and by the fantasy genre, and shows the first book of each series it lists.
