With Gija's "Dragon sense," Yona and her party find a hidden village inside the rocky mountains. However, the villagers say that they have never heard of any Dragon there. Smelling something fishy, Yona decides to stay and have a look around.
The climactic battle between the pirates and Keum-ji's forces comes to a conclusion. Despite her many injuries, Yona takes an important step forward to protect those she cares about. However an even greater trial awaits her.
Hak and Yona take refuge in the capital of Fuga, the land of Hak's birth. But when his grandfather Mun-deok indicates he will not support Su-won's ascension to the throne, the Fire clan puts pressure on the Wind clan.
Trapped after an earthquake, Yona and the others try to dig their way out, with the help of the Blue Dragon. After a lifetime of isolation and hatred, the Blue Dragon finds it hard to believe that Yona is truly his path to freedom.
Yona, Hak and Jun begin their journey to find the Four Dragons, but they have little more than scraps of stories as leads. Frustrated with being a liability, Yona demands Hak teach her to use weapons, but can a pampered princess learn to kill?
To protect the Wind clan, Hak and Yona both decide to leave the capital of Fuga. Mun-deok advises them to seek the oracle for guidance, but Tea-jung of the Fire clan is determined to capture Yona... and kill Hak.
Yona is welcomed by the people of the White Dragon's Village, who believe her red hair is a sign she is the king they have been waiting for. Of course, only the White Dragon himself will know for sure if she is the real thing.
Having taken a poisoned arrow to save Yona, Hak is cornered and out of options. But a fire is lit inside Yona, and she will not let Hak die. Meanwhile Su-won's coronation day is at hand, and hepromises to be a very different king.
Yona tries to shake off her surprise meeting and look to the future. Now that she is leaving Awa, Jeaha must decide if following Yona is something he wants to do, and not just something the Green Dragon must do.
Despite his best efforts, the Green Dragon is found, but makes it very clear he will not be following Yona. But Jeaha finds himself forced to keep dealing with the girl when she volunteers to help the pirates against Awa's evil lord.
