For months, Mae and her parents have been traveling across the country in search of a magic flower. Mae's mother is ill, and this rare flower is the only thing that can save her, but it grows in a secret place, guarded by dragons. Mae vows to herself that she will find the flower and save her mother. One night she wakes to a vision of light that beckons her to follow, but does she have the courage to face the dragons?
