Set in ancient China, two brothers fight the classic battle between

along with a young girl destined to become the Spellweaver of her
nomadic tribe. And as An-Lushan is pulled towards the dark, Rokshan

Horsemen - where he is to meet the great stallion Stargazer and,
ultimately, must learn the innermost secrets of the dragons . . .
