The story takes place in India about a hundred years ago. There are three main characters covering an epic adventure from Tibet to India and back again. The main protaganist, a spiritual llama, is seeking to recover a stolen jade treasure and in fact lures the criminals by creating a mysterious traveling theater group, whose wildly popular but ever-evolving story on stage comes to the attention of the bad guys, with a stunning outcome! The three are: The Llama, who travels with the group and is their behind-the-scenes director. The Chela, who is the main player among an amazing cast and who turns out to be more than just an amazing talent... The Forester who is British. He is in India because India has been colonized and he is in charge of forest lands. Over time he develops a great respect for Eastern culture and teachings. Through a twist of fate, he becomes intimately involved in the whole adventure. The beginning pages start a bit slow, with philosophy and strange narratives... But do not let that put you off! Keep reading! This is wild, exotic and altogether worthwhile journey...
