Why is the dragon the only fantasy creature in the Chinese zodiac? Maybe dragons aren't a fantasy after all… Moli has never seen a dragon, but she'd imagined one many times. Following the death of her historian father from Covid-19, her need to escape from the real world has never felt so acute. Travelling from China to London to attend the funeral, Moli takes the opportunity to visit her father's last exhibition, "The Lost Dynasty of Rouran". The trip reveals Moli's connection to an ancient khanate that was once the nemesis of Hua Mulan and, unexpectedly, opens the door to another realm where dragons are much more than mythical creatures. This is just the beginning of an adventure that takes Moli travelling through time to a world of shamans, rituals, conqueror worms, dragon chariots and even a confrontation with Adolf Hitler. When the virus has killed hope and stoked the fires of conflict and mistrust, Moli meets others who are suffering like her. Together, challenged by the evilest forces in history, they must face a threat that could wipe out humanity forever
