Quick recap

The prophecy was fake, but Sunny wants to end the war anyway. In the Scorpion Den she learns that Thorn, leader of the Outclaws, is her mother, and later that her father is Stonemover, a NightWing animus. Sunny proposes that the three SandWing sisters, Burn, Blister and Blaze, settle the throne peacefully. On the chosen night, none will. A snake sent by Blister kills Burn, and Clay is bitten protecting his friends, but Peril saves him. Sunny finds the Eye of Onyx, the object that chooses the queen, and gives it to Thorn. Blister grabs it and is destroyed by its spell. Thorn becomes queen, and the war ends. A month later, the five plan a school for every tribe.
