1945. Rice fields seem endless in a quaint farming village of South Korea, yet Iseul and the villagers have been on the verge of starvation for as long as they can remember. Men are conscripted, and rice is taken to feed the growing army as the Korean Peninsula is thrust into an international war.

Magisch, fesselnd und atemberaubend spannend – der Auftakt zu einer epischen Fantasy-Serie vom koreanischen Genre-Großmeister! In einem einsamen Gasthaus am Rand der Punten-Wüste treffen drei Gestalten aufeinander, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Der Lekon Tinahan ist ein mächtiger Krieger mit dem Kopf eines Hahns. Bihyung ist ein Dokebi, ein Feuerwesen, immer zu Scherzen aufgelegt. Und Kaygon Draka ist ein Mensch, der das legendäre Schwert eines Königs trägt und ein düsteres Geheimnis verbirgt.

Das Fantasy-Epos aus Korea! Durch einen Trick haben sich die Nagas, telepathische Echsenwesen aus den Dschungeln im Süden, die Macht ihrer Göttin angeeignet und setzen sie jetzt im Krieg gegen die Mächte des Nordens ein. Obwohl die nördlichen Armeen von Feuergöttern und Drachen angeführt werden, haben sie kaum eine Chance auf den Sieg, denn die Nagas sind praktisch unsterblich. Ihre einzige Hoffnung ist, dass eine Gruppe Abenteurer – der Lekon-Krieger Tinahan, Feuergeist Bihyung und der Mensch Kaygon Draka – ihren geheimen Auftrag ausführen.

Naga Ryun, Lekon Tinahan, Dokebi Bihyung und der Mensch Kaygon haben den Hainsha-Tempel erreicht. Dort erfahren sie endlich mehr über die Prophezeiung, die sie hergebracht hat: Die Naga-Priester wollen einen der Götter töten, um ihre eigene Göttin so viel Macht zu verleihen, dass sie die Welt erobern kann. Die Mönche bitten Ryun, Kontakt mit seiner Göttin aufzunehmen, um herauszufinden, wie die Priester vorgehen wollen. Ryun kommt der Bitte nach – und tappt damit geradewegs in eine Falle. Für ihn und seine Gefährten beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit.

Das epische Finale der großen Fantasy-Saga aus Korea! Die Abenteurer Kaygon Draka, Lekon Tinahan und Feuergeist Bihyung haben die Reinkarnation der Lekon-Göttin gefunden – doch der Tanzende Gott der Menschen bleibt verschwunden. Um die Macht der Nagas und ihren Krieg gegen die Völker des Nordens zu beenden, reisen sie nach Süden, ins Zentrum der Macht der Nagas. Doch die Echsenwesen, die die Macht ihrer Göttin gestohlen haben, sind nahezu unbesiegbar, wenn der Tanzende Gott nicht gefunden und eine uralte Prophezeiung erfüllt wird. Den Abenteurern bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit.
