Believing her perfect life on Rainbow Island will never end, Yu-ning’s strength and beliefs are challenged when the idyllic island she has grown up on is attacked by a dark dragon called the Obsidigon. Surrounded by flames, Yu-ning’s best friend gets kidnapped and the island’s Sacred Crystals are stolen. Determined to avoid losing her world full of love and joy, Yu-ning, armed with a magic bow, must venture into the dark corners of the world to uncover secrets thought best ignored, find a weapon believed to be long destroyed, and recapture seven sacred stones—without being burned to a crisp by a very angry dragon. With the help of her master teacher, Metatron, and the comfort of her enchanted pet frog, Magic, Yu-ning embarks on a dangerous journey to overcome not only the darkness attacking her home, but also the scars of sadness that mark one’s own heart.
