Poté, co se Tiamat dotkne draka střežícího babylonské visuté zahrady, začíná se jí dařit vše, nač sáhne. Dokonce i v klubu Dvaceti čtverců, kam chodívá, vyhrává každou hru. Předal jí snad drak svoji magickou moc? Záhy však Tiamat zjišťuje, že nenadálý dar s sebou přináší i veliké nebezpečí. Její domov se chystá napadnout perské vojsko, ona však musí se svým kamarádem, uvážlivým Simeonem, vybojovat svůj vlastní boj. Podaří se jí kouzlem zachránit rodné město, nebo je kouzlo naopak nadobro zničí? Řada Sedm bájných divů světa vyvěrá z autorčina zájmu o starověké mýty, legendy a podivné tvory, kteří se v nich vyskytují. Raději než znovu omílat dobře známé pověsti se pokouší snoubit legendy s historií a zvlášť prozkoumávat mezery v dějinách, o nichž se toho zatím moc neví. V této řadě se setkáte se sedmi podivuhodnými mladými lidmi, kteří žili v dobách, kdy kouzlo a realita měly k sobě blíž než dnes – v dobách, jež zrodily fantastické příběhy.
