Alexander Cold and his best friend, Nadia, the heroes of Allende’s City Of the Beasts, are reunited in a new adventure. This time, Alexander’s fearless grandmother and International Geographic are taking them to another remote niche of the world — a forbidden kingdom tucked into the frosty peaks of the Himalayas. Their task: to locate its fabled Golden Dragon, a sacred statue and priceless oracle, before it is destroyed by the greed of an outsider.
With the aid of a sage Buddhist monk, his young royal disciple, and a fierce tribe of Yeti warriors, and armed with the power of their totemic animal spirits, Alexander and Nadia fight to protect the holy rule of the Golden Dragon.
