About This Book

The crisp mountain air smells like pine and mystery as Pasang and Tashi step quietly through the whispering forests of Yakmandu. Everywhere around them, ancient magic hums beneath the tall, snowy peaks, and the soft glow of the Yeh Ming Jhu crystal lights their path. But with the Jewel of Insight stolen by the dark sorcerer Terrak, their brave hearts beat with hope—and a quiet fear that the kingdom’s fate hangs in the balance.
