Alexander Cold and Nadia Santos travel with Kate Cold to a secluded Himalayan kingdom whose traditions are guarded from the outside world. The kingdom’s most important treasure is the Golden Dragon, a sacred statue believed to reveal the future and therefore a target for an international criminal conspiracy.

Working with the young prince Dil Bahadur and the monk Tensing, Alexander and Nadia must understand the kingdom’s spiritual practices while resisting kidnappers and mercenaries. The second Eagle and Jaguar adventure develops their friendship through a conflict between cultural preservation, greed and political responsibility.
