Judy I. Lin

Un gran mal ha llegado al reino de Dáxi. El Principe Desterrado ha regresado para hacerse con el poder, su ascenso al trono del dragón, facilitado por los envenenamientos masivos que han subyugado al pueblo mediante el miedo y la desconfianza. Ning, una joven pero poderosa shennong-shi, portadora de la magia que se manifiesta mediante el antiguo y delicado arte de la elaboracion del te, ha acompañado a la princesa Zhen en su exilio. Junto a ellas se encuentran la leal guardaespaldas de la princesa, Ruyi, y la hermana recien recuperada de Ning, Shu. Juntas, las cuatro jovenes viajaran por todo el reino en busca de aliados que las ayuden a expulsar a los invasores y a restaurar a Zhen en su legitimo trono. Pero la serpiente dorada sigue atormentando las pesadillas de Ning con visiones de guerra y derramamiento de sangre. Un mal mucho mas antiguo que los mezquinos conflictos de los humanos se ha despertado, y, quizas, ni siquiera toda la magia existente podra ser suficiente para impedir que consuma el mundo...
