Kume is a Mapuk child who loves to spend his days drawing dragons. His sister, Yssala, loves to sing, and dreams of communing with fairies. When peace throughout the valley no longer reigns, they must venture into the mountains to help a sorceress thwart forthcoming catastrophes. Dragons, fairies, wizards, Amazonian warriors, and other inhabitants of the Andekhan Mountains, partake in this most daring and grueling quest. The ancestral wisdom of these people comes back to life and enlightens them to unearth the hidden power of art.
"I've been working on this book for two years solid. It targets youngsters and is about art, ecology, fairies, and dragons in an adventurous manner. It also has to do with the magic of the ancient cultures throughout the American continent." (Ciruelo)

Ciruelo Cabral was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 20, 1963.
His formal art training was limited to a few courses in drawing and advertising design, after which, at the age of eighteen, he immediately found work in an ad agency as an illustrator. At the age of twenty one he became a freelance illustrator and started a career as a fantasy artist. In 1987 Ciruelo traveled to Europe and settled in Sitges, Barcelona, Spain. He then embarked on a search for publishers for his "worlds of fantasy", eventually finding them in Spain, England, the United States and Germany, reaching an international audience.
