První díl oceňované trilogie, která potěší fanoušky Hildy či Vlkochodců Kováři byli kdysi mocnější než mágové, jejich řemeslo však svou slávu už dávno ztratilo. Mladé kovářské učednici Grétě přesto připadá dostatečně kouzelná i pouhá představa, že bude vyrábět krásné předměty, které udělají lidem radost. Její životní směřování zásadně ovlivní okamžik, kdy zachrání tajemné opuštěné zvíře. Brzy se dozví, že jde o jednoho z téměř zapomenutých čajových draků. Těm na parůžcích rostou čajové lístky, které se dají sklidit a lze z nich připravit speciální odvar, díky němuž je možné poznat vzpomínky druhých. Gréta se seznámí s dobrosrdečným majitelem čajovny Hezekielem, jenž býval slavným dobrodruhem, spřátelí se s plachou Minetou a začne objevovat historii spolku čajových draků… Komiksová pohádka, v jejímž pestrém světě nikdo neřeší barvu kůže, orientaci nebo zdravotní znevýhodnění, již slavila úspěch v řadě zemí. Získala Cenu Willa Eisnera či Harveyho cenu a zařadila se k moderním klasikám dětského komiksu.
