Daughters
of the Dragon

It begins with the oldest wound in the world: a dragon lord from the sea, a fairy from the mountain, a hundred children who could not stay together — and let go of one another's hands. Every daughter in this cycle is the ache of that letting-go, running down the centuries like water finding the sea.

And it begins with pearls. A girl drops her grace into a well at the start of everything, and the pearls travel the current — through every book — gathering, waiting. Each act of kindness across six stories is one more pearl in the water. Each daughter is a refusal, and each refusal is a hand held out down the tide toward the hands that come after.

Read them in any order; they gather into one. The magic thins as myth bends into history, until only courage remains — and at the last book, two clasped hands answer a thousand years of letting-go, and the first wound finally closes.

The pitch: six standalone films — or an anthology series — bound by one mythic engine, spanning a thousand years of Vietnamese women from folk-tale to the historical Trưng Sisters. A proven global appetite for feminist myth (Greek), an untapped mythology, and a finished six-book source.

Comps: Circe meets The Shape of Water at the folk end; Braveheart meets The Song of Achilles at the historical end — with sisters. Screen, translation, and adaptation rights to the full cycle available.
