More than eight hundred years have passed since the villagers fled their homes in the valley of Abba-dhande to find a place where they established new and powerful kingdoms. One royal birth in a rain-soaked meadow at the foot of the Himalayas becomes a history-changing moment when the heir to the throne finds a new way to live, but watches the peaceful kingdoms around him suddenly collide in war. Now, Dr. Ethan Bridge and his research team unwittingly hold a key to the location of a mysterious golden treasure and find themselves at the center of an international search by governments that want to take control of the vast wealth.
