Die Drachen bewahren den Schlüssel zur Rettung der Welt. Aber das Geheimnis ihrer Zuflucht wurde aufgedeckt. Nun sammeln sich die Heere im alten China zur letzten Schlacht. Kreaturen, aus Lava geboren, entsteigen den Tiefen der Berge. Riesen erklimmen von Süden her die Gipfel. Himmelskrieger in gewaltigen Luftschiffen nähern sich aus dem Norden. Inmitten des heraufziehenden Krieges verzweifelt Niccolo an seiner Liebe zu Mondkind. Die Drachen könnten das sterbende Mädchen heilen – doch das würde es zu einer tödlichen Gegnerin machen. Derweil stößt Nugua auf das Grab eines Wesens, das vor Äonen die Welt erschuf – und jetzt zur mächtigsten Waffe des Feindes wird.
