Can a brave soldier, a mysterious magical tinderbox, and three incredible dogs unlock the greatest adventure - and the greatest treasure - a heart could ever find?

When a brave soldier returning from war meets a mysterious old witch on a lonely road, he agrees to climb down into the hollow of an ancient tree to fetch her tinderbox. Inside, he discovers three enormous magical dogs - each guarding a chest of silver, gold, and glittering treasure. He takes the riches and the tinderbox, but little does he know that the tinderbox holds a power beyond anything he imagined. One strike of the flint summons one dog, two strikes summons another, and three strikes summons all three - ready to carry out any wish the soldier commands. From the streets of a kingdom to the towers of a royal castle, the brave soldier's greatest adventure is only just beginning.
