Quick recap

Tsunami takes her friends to the SeaWing kingdom and meets her mother, Queen Coral, and her younger sister Anemone, the heir. Almost all of her daughters' eggs have died. Tsunami volunteers to guard the last egg. The SandWing Blister, Coral's ally, manipulates everyone and talks the queen into jailing Riptide and Webs. Tsunami uncovers the real killer: a statue of Orca, Coral's eldest daughter, enchanted to kill the queen's daughters. She saves the egg, and it hatches. Anemone turns out to be an animus who can enchant objects. SkyWing firebombs hit the Summer Palace. In the chaos, the dragonets free the prisoners and flee south, looking for RainWing help.
