However, the aftermath of the rebellion brought along inevitable fight for power among dragons themselves. Once they were rulers of the Pyrrhia, but then the dragons rose in the upheaval called the “Scorching” and took over the control of the land. Humans are out there too, but they are not key players. This dragon-shaped continent has many of the characteristics of the Earth, with one major change- dragons are the dominant force.
The novel is set in the mystical and magical world called Pyrrhia. So what is the deal with “Wings of Fire”? Well, to put it shortly, imagine if “Game of Thrones” with the human character replaced with… well, dragons.

This series is called “Wings of Fire” and this is a story about it. She wrote the series in which dragons steal the show. Sutherland is an author who changed this.
They are usually reduced to the powerful villains and imminent threat to the (mainly human) world. Is there a person who does not like these fire-spewing intimidating, yet magnificent creatures? With that in mind, it comes as a surprise that dragons are rarely given a lead role in novels. Among these beings, there is a particular sort that has always caused awe and respect among the readers- dragons. It is no mystery as to why this genre is so incredibly popular- readers simply adore reading about the world in which much simpler rules are followed, where terms such as honor and glory mean something, the world in which valiant knights stand up for what is right and defy evil in its many horrendous incarnations, the world in which the adventure is a lifestyle and fantastic beings are met at every corner. Many writers were inspired by Tolkien’s work and tried to succeed him, some of them successfully (see G.R.R Martin), some of them failed miserably, and numerous copycats emerged. Ever since “Lord of the Rings” came out in the fifties, epic fantasy literature took the world by storm.
