Backstory: About a month after Moon hatched in the rainforest, a NighWing hunter accidentally found Moon, (she was sleeping, which is why she didn't hide) and this hunter took Moon to the NightWing island, and takes her to Queen Battlewinner, and, failing in an attempt to figure out who Moon's mother is, Moon is lucky enough to be raised by her actual mother. When taking lessons on how to sound like you're reading minds, it was quickly discovered that Moon actually could, making her a valuable asset, and allowing her to travel to the content with Morrowseer for pre-approved missions like inspecting the dragonets. Moon has guessed she can see the future, but is keeping that a secret so she isn't used further, but was lucky enough to find scrolls about blocking the voices in her head
Joy Ang for the designing the cover of the book Tui T Sutherland for daydreaming Moonwatcher and the entire Wings of Fire series. The modifications to the backstory are my original idea, for anyone who looked far enough to see this. If for some reason you're reading this and haven't read the backstory already; why? Go do that right now.
