Let's talk about this book. Near we get Qibli's opinion of the Nightwing students, Darkstalker, and Turtle leaving toward the Rain Kingdom so, Darkstalker can gather his tribe and head to the secret Kingdom, the real one this time. Then we learn that Ostrich has dissapeared when Sunny takes Qibli out of class to talk with him privately. After they talk about it he decideds to go after her to the Scorpion Den.
Winter joins him saying that he ows Qibli for helping him find Icicle. Once they get there they find Qibli's mother in his grandfathers dungeon. Later when they're reunited they learn that Onyx is the great granddaughter of Queen Oasis! Qibli, his mother, winter, and Ostrich are put in a cell only to escape. Qibli's mother Cobra won't leave without quickly (we later learn it's the obsidian mirror) going to the treasury and taking the obsidian mirror.
They fly straight to Thorn's palace and almost minutes later Qibli asks her to arrest his mother. All the pieces had finally fallen into place. It was a scheme to get his grandfathers best assasin into Thorns palace to kill her. Later a big fight breaks out between Winter and Qibli when Winter learns that his tribe is in danger. Winter uses his deadly frostbreath on Qibli because he was too scared what animus magic would do to him.
Qibli wakes up a few hours later and learns that Thyphoon had taken only 2 earings that have protection spells on them back to the ice kingdom. He started to make more, but after he had made about a 1000 Thorn sent him and Winter to look for Darkstalker. On the way there they meet anenome who was just in a battle with Turtle. Darkstalker had cast a few spells on her so Qibli gave her an earing.
Afterwards she was all roaring and ready to kill Darkstalker right there, but Qibli convinced her that they weren't going to kill him. They were only going there to help stop the prophecy from happening. On the way there they exchanged stories on what happened to them. Once they finally got there Qibli found Moon by herself in the library. She seemed overjoyed to see him.
Then once Qibli left her in search of some other mysteries he found Kinkanjou spying on a Nightwing that was actually Chameleon it turns out. They cornered him and took away his shapes. They agreed to meet in Kinkanjou's room later that night. Almost a few minutes later Winter started yet another fight and everything went crazy! Moon finally learned what Darkstalker had done. She took Qibli with her to face him. What they found was unexpected. Darkstalker was trying to make Clearsight out of a dragon.
Qible felt sorry for him. Moon confronted him head on. Darkstalker was shocked that he hadn't seen her coming. He feels sad that Moon has skyfire now, but Moon tried to make him feel guilty for what he had done. After doing some spells to prove to Moon why he tried to wipe out the Icewings he learns they want war so he's gonna give one to them. They rush back to Jade Mountain to warn everybody, but they were too late. The Nightwings and Icewings were grapling in the sky now. Qibli with his bright mind found a way to stop them with a heartfelt moment of why they were doing this.
After this Darkstalker took Qibli away and tried to convince him to let him turn him into an animus. Qiblie says no. Then after finding Moon and Kinkanjou being there in the cave with them he learns that his mother is still alive. They fly to where she is and that is where Darkstalker is defeated by Kinkanjou.
