Deep in the clouded foothills of the Himalayas - a mysterious region known as the "abode of the gods" - the starting discovery of an exotic creature could mean the realization of Sir Jeffrey Parnell's lifelong dream. A new species, the likes of which the world has never seen! But when the creature is captured, under suspicious circumstances, the event unleashes a force far more powerful than anyone could have imagined. The task of reversing what has begun to unfold falls to Lucy, niece of the expedition leader, and Evan, a photographer's son and reluctant traveller. Propelled into a mystical world, where the habits of contemporary man clash with sacred, time-honoured traditions, Lucy and Evan must come to terms with some important questions. Are we truly meant to understand everything about the world around us, or are some things best left undiscovered?
