    The ninth book in the Wings of Fire series follows Turtle, a young SeaWing dragon who discovers he has powerful animus magic but has been hiding his abilities out of fear. When his sister Anemone's dangerous use of animus magic threatens the underwater kingdom, Turtle must overcome his reluctance to use his powers and find a way to stop her before she destroys everything he cares about. The story explores themes of responsibility, the corrupting nature of power, family loyalty, and finding the courage to act despite fear. This fantasy adventure features diverse dragon tribes with distinct cultures and focuses on sibling relationships and personal growth.
