Set in a fictional nation that draws inspiration from a mixture of Japanese, Korean and Chinese cultures, the story follows the redemption of Yona, the sole princess to the Kingdom of Kouka. Yona lives the carefree life of a princess in Hiryuu Castle, being sheltered by her pacifistic father, King Il, and protected by her bodyguard and childhood friend Hak. During a party celebrating her sixteenth birthday, her other childhood friend and crush of many years, Su-Won, comes to pay tribute to her. Upon revealing her intention to someday marry him to her father, Yona is shocked and dismayed when King Il pointedly forbids her from choosing Su-Won as a husband. That night, Yona visits her father’s chambers again, determined to convince him to change his mind. Instead, she walks in on Su-Won driving a sword through King Il’s chest, revealing that he’d planned a Coup d’état and would become Kouka’s next King. She attempts to run away, only to be chased and nearly killed by Su-Won’s guards. Hak intervenes and they escape from the castle to Hak’s birthplace, Fuuga, the capital of the Wind Tribe. Under the suggestion of Hak’s grandfather Son Mundok, Yona and Hak search for a priest named Ik-Su, who then tells them the legend of the first king of Kouka, Hiryuu, and the Four Dragon Warriors who unified the kingdom. Yona and Hak, joined by Ik-Su’s assistant Yun, begin a journey to find the descendants of the legendary Four Dragon Warriors in order to survive and save the Kingdom of Kouka.
