A young prince must overcome obstacles to help his clan return to their homeland. The Wong Clan hopes to leave their blighted homeland for a mythical place called Old Land, but first they must pass through the Dragon Path. Young Prince Sing is separated from the clan during an attack by their enemies, the Dragon Clan. And a terrible betrayal by a devious advisor throws the conflict into chaos. With the help of a mystic and his cat-like warrior beast Midnight, Prince Sing must do all he can to save both the Wong Clan and the Dragon Clan from mutual destruction.

"If I grew up with a graphic novel full of dragons, mystical magic orbs, and a giant-sized cat with a unicorn horn shooting blasts of energy, I would have gotten totally lost in this world.
