A riveting thriller of courage, faith, and the unbreakable bond between father and son
As Christopher watched, the mist parted, revealing bit by bit a vast monastery. The great edifice seemed suspended between earth and sky, floating impossibly on a cushion of mist, its topmost pinnacles lost among the clouds.
When his ten-year-old son is taken at knifepoint, former British intelligence agent Christopher Wylam launches a frantic search to save him. Driven by love and desperation, he chases the kidnappers into the treacherous landscapes of India and the snow-covered expanses of Tibet, where his son may be hidden within a secretive Buddhist monastery, believed by some to be a prophesied reincarnation. Alongside the enigmatic and captivating Chindamani, who is neither entirely divine nor wholly human, Wylam must navigate a world where ancient prophecies and modern conspiracies collide-and the stakes are higher than he ever imagined.
