Nie ist Nugua einem anderen Menschen begegnet. Sie wächst als Mädchen unter Drachen auf, bis die Drachen spurlos verschwinden. So beginnt sie ihre lange Suche in den Weiten Chinas. In einer ihr fremden Welt begegnet sie unsterblichen Magiern, fliegenden Schwertkämpfern – und Niccolo, einem Jungen mit goldenen Augen. Auch er ist auf der Suche. Seit Jahrhunderten lebt sein Volk auf einer Wolke, hoch oben in den Lüften. Doch das Wolkenvolk ist vom Untergang bedroht. Niccolo wurde ausgesandt, eine rätselhafte Substanz zu finden, ohne die es auf den Wolken kein Leben geben kann – den Atem der verschollenen Drachen.
