When a mystery as ancient as time itself re-surfaces and threatens life and loved ones, three brothers find themselves embroiled in an unbelievable but absolutely essential adventure. Never mind that what they discover defies modern-day reality and collides in every respect with logic and scientific consensus; loyalty, love and a duty to conscience compels them forward. When Ben comes up missing, Mike and Tyler head into the eerily majestic Cascade Mountains to search for him. But that's just the beginning. A timeless journey takes them into the breathtaking Andes rising out of the deserts of South America and the exotic high Himalayas that erupt from the steamy jungles of the Kingdom of Sikkim. A beautiful but elusive woman is at once a solution and a problem, as they unravel an extraordinary contradiction that flies in the face of deeply rooted cultural legends and religious beliefs. What is this mystery of the mountains? Can three brothers and a feisty "sister" do what no one has been able to do for centuries of time? Will romance prevail or be the undoing of their quest? Will truth stand the ultimate test of time or is it really part of the myth? Though they wanted to forget, they would each harbor the memory of a pitiful, dark, hulking creature who must aimlessly wander the forbidding regions of the earth for as long as there is a march of the mountain sun.
