When Theodores safe, predictable world is destroyed, his lifeand his faithare in danger Thirteenyearold Theodore has lived in China all his life and never felt terror, until his fathers missionary settlement is attacked and burned in the night. Theodore follows his fathers orders and hides in the forest, only creeping back the next morning to see if anythingor anyonehas survived. But before he reaches the smoldering wreckage he runs into the formidable Mrs. Jones, a botanist and adventurer whos traveling across China on horseback with her young companion, Lung. The three head into the Himalayan foothills, where a mountainside escape puts them at the mercy of the Lama Amchi. The holy man seems interested in Theodore and leads the group to an extraordinary hidden monastery. But deep in the mountains, with winter coming and monks following their every move, will rescue come at a price? Are Theodore and his friends honored guestsor prisoners?
