Jednoho zimního dne se kočička Hamley probudí do světa zachumlaného pod sněhovou přikrývkou. Radost z prvního sněhu umocní setkání s kouzelnou bytostí, která jí splní vánoční přání. Jako mávnutím proutku se Hamley ocitne na louce za domem, která vypadá jinak než obvykle. Jaké dobrodružství na kočičku v tomto magickém zimním světě čeká?
Hamley je naprosto unesená z čínských legend a zvyků, o kterých jí vyprávěla její kočičí sousedka Sunan. Díky svým kouzelným schopnostem se pak neprobudí ve svém pelíšku, ale ve starodávné Číně. Co si počne s opuštěným dračím vejcem, které tu najde? Dokáže pomoct dračí mámě a zachránit prastarou magii?
