50 free The Dragonet Prophecy trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
The Dragonet Prophecy is where Wings of Fire begins. Five young dragons, taken from their tribes before they hatched, are raised in secret to end a war that has dragged on for nearly twenty years. The story belongs to Clay, a gentle MudWing who would rather look after his friends than fulfil anyone's destiny, and that choice is a big part of why readers fall for the book. This quiz follows the novel from start to finish: life under the mountain with three short-tempered guardians, the visit from Morrowseer that changes everything, the escape, the days as prisoners of Queen Scarlet, and Clay's search for his family. A few questions step outside the story to cover how the book was made and adapted. It is written for readers who have finished book one, whether that was last week or years ago. Most questions are ones a fan should get with a little thought, and a handful are for those who remember every prisoner in the arena. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so a miss still teaches something.

Q 01In The Dragonet Prophecy, what did Clay's mother accept in exchange for his egg?

Q 02In The Dragonet Prophecy, how are the guardian Kestrel and Queen Scarlet's arena fighter Peril related?

Q 03In The Dragonet Prophecy, how does Queen Scarlet use Glory while the other dragonets are held as arena fighters?

Q 04In The Dragonet Prophecy, what hidden weapon does Glory use to melt half of Queen Scarlet's face?
Venom from her fangs

Q 05In The Dragonet Prophecy, what does Starflight say makes Clay immune to the heat of Peril's touch?
A blood-red egg

Q 07In The Dragonet Prophecy, why did Clay really go after the other dragonets' eggs when he hatched?
To help them hatch

Q 08In The Dragonet Prophecy, which tribe does Glory, the stand-in for the missing SkyWing dragonet, come from?

Q 23In The Dragonet Prophecy, what does Tsunami do to distract the arena while an IceWing has Clay pinned down?

Q 14In The Dragonet Prophecy, what does Morrowseer order the guardians to do after he inspects the five dragonets?
