Synopsis

Princess Mononoke meets How to Train Your Dragon in this magical middle grade adventure from Cindy Lin, author of The Twelve, featuring a blend of East and Southeast Asian folklore and mythical creatures, and starring a boy with a hero’s destiny.

Prince Jin is running out of time.

He must find a monster companion before his thirteenth birthday or lose the throne completely.

And that means travelling to the only place where monsters still live: the legendary, dangerous Whisper Island.

But untold perils await Jin there. The magical creatures he seeks are not so easily swayed, and an even greater threat looms on the horizon—one that could threaten everything Jin hopes to achieve.


  • A Coming of Age Fantasy: Prince Jin has until his thirteenth birthday to bond with a magical beast. If he fails, he’ll lose his chance to be emperor forever.
  • A Rich World Based on Asian Folklore: Journey to the legendary Whisper Island and discover a land filled with kirins, dragons, phoenixes, and other creatures from myth.
  • An Unlikely Hero: A young prince who has spent his life in a palace must brave a dangerous wilderness and defy his powerful grandmother to claim his destiny.
  • Found Family: When shipwrecked and alone, Jin must rely on new friends—the last of the island’s magical Whisperers—to survive.
