In The Kingdom of the Golden Dragon – the second book in the trilogy The Adventures of the Eagle and the Jaguar, by New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende – Alexander and Nádia will experience dangerous adventures and make new friends, but this time in the valleys and mountains of the Himalayas.
It wasn't long ago that young Alexander ventured into the heart of the Amazon rainforest accompanied by his grandmother, reporter Kate Cold, and his new friend, Nadia. Now, these characters reunite on another mission: together with photographers from International Geographic , they set off for a kingdom nestled among the high peaks of the Himalayas in search of a statue capable of predicting the place's future.
Made of solid gold and encrusted with countless precious stones, the Golden Dragon statue has remained hidden for centuries in the labyrinthine underground of the imperial palace of a small and mysterious kingdom. According to legend, the object is no mere decorative piece of art, but rather responsible for preserving peace and well-being in that region. But this peace is threatened by a man who is not content with being merely the second richest person in the world.
While describing these breathtaking adventures, New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende reveals to readers of Kingdom of the Golden Dragon the value behind the simplicity of Buddhist principles – expounded by Lama Tensing, master and spiritual guide of Dil Bahadur, heir to the kingdom, to whom the monk teaches the importance of compassion, life and peace.
In an edition with a new cover, The Kingdom of the Golden Dragon , the second book in the trilogy The Adventures of the Eagle and the Jaguar, brings a magical story, with beautiful spiritual teachings, and shows that love can last even at a distance.
