About this ebook
A search for the Golden Dragon in the Himalayan Mountains becomes a quest for protection in this coming-of-age story filled with international adventure, rich mythology, and magical realism from globally celebrated novelist Isabel Allende.
How much would you risk to save a friend?
After surviving the dangers of the Amazon, reporter Kate Cold brings her grandson, Alexander, and his best friend, Nadia, on another assignment for International Geographic. Entering a forbidden kingdom tucked in the frosty peaks of the Himalayas, the team’s task is to locate its fabled Golden Dragon, a sacred statue and priceless oracle that can tell the future.
In their scramble to reach the statue before it is destroyed by the infamous order of Scorpions, Alexander and Nadia must use the power of their totemic animal spirits—Jaguar and Eagle. With the aid of a wise Buddhist monk, his young royal disciple, and a fierce tribe of Yeti warriors, Alexander and Nadia fight to protect the Golden Dragon and the entire Forbidden Kingdom.
Isabel Allende once again leads readers on a voyage of suspense, magic, and awe-inspiring adventure in this riveting follow-up to City of the Beasts.
