Prince Jen has lived his entire life in the safety of a wealthy palace, but he is eager to prove his worth. Volunteering to seek out the legendary, utopian court of T'ien-kuo, he is sent off with six highly unusual gifts from a mysterious old man: a saddle, a sword, a paint box, a wooden bowl, a paper kite, and a simple flute.
Full of pride and towering confidence, Jen believes the journey will be a quick and glorious triumph. Instead, you will watch him stumble almost instantly into a devastating string of disasters. Robbed, lost, and running for his life, the prince quickly realizes that surviving the real world is far harder than he ever imagined.
Only by joining forces with his endlessly loyal servant, Mafoo, and a fiercely brave flute-girl named Voyaging Moon, does Jen stand a chance. Journey into a breathtaking, action-packed epic where a sheltered prince must uncover the true, hidden magic of his strange gifts to save his kingdom.
