"The first book in the Wings of Fire: Legends series is Darkstalker, published in 2016."

Q: "Do you need to read the main Wings of Fire series before reading the Legends books?"

"It helps but is not strictly required. Darkstalker (2016) is set thousands of years before the main series and introduces the NightWing-IceWing hybrid whose actions shaped the world of Pyrrhia. Knowledge of NightWing lore from the main series adds context. Dragonslayer (2020) retells events from the first arc entirely from the perspective of three human characters, so familiarity with The Dragonet Prophecy makes the parallel storyline more rewarding."

The Wings of Fire: Legends books step outside the main series timeline to tell stories that expand the world from different angles. Darkstalker (2016) is set over two thousand years before The Dragonet Prophecy and follows the young NightWing-IceWing hybrid Darkstalker, whose immense animus magic and tragic choices created the rift between the NightWing and IceWing tribes. The novel also follows his friends Fathom the SeaWing and Clearsight the NightWing, whose own abilities make them central to the story’s outcome.

Dragonslayer (2020) takes a completely different approach, retelling the events of the War of SandWing Succession from the viewpoint of three human characters: Ivy, Leaf, and Wren. In the Wings of Fire world, humans (called scavengers by dragons) are tiny and considered pests. Dragonslayer flips that perspective and shows what the dragon war looks like from the ground. Both Legends books stand on their own but gain extra weight for readers who already know the main series.
