No, Clay is not dead in the Wings of Fire series. He survived a life-threatening venomous attack thanks to a crucial intervention.
Clay's Survival
Despite suffering a severe venomous bite, Clay's life was saved by the quick and decisive actions of another dragon. Peril, a SkyWing with unique fire capabilities, intervened dramatically. She asserted that she would not allow Clay to perish and immediately took action. By using her scorching talons, she dug into the section of his leg where he was bitten, effectively removing and burning out the venom from his system. This drastic measure, though painful, successfully neutralized the poison and prevented his death.
Lasting Impact
While Clay ultimately survived this perilous ordeal, the heroic act that saved his life left him with permanent physical changes. For the remainder of his life, he was left with a noticeable scar on his leg and walked with a persistent limp. This enduring mark serves as a constant reminder of the near-fatal incident and the extreme lengths taken to ensure his survival.
