Pinmei lives a quiet, happy life with her grandmother, the village's beloved storyteller, and a young boy named Yishan. But when the emperor's soldiers kidnap her grandmother and burn their hut down, Pinmei and Yishan set out to find the Luminous Stone, the very thing the emperor is after, in order to use it to barter for her grandmother's safe return.
