Nearly twenty years after leaving Kôr, Horace Holly and Leo Vincey remain convinced that Ayesha has survived and will return to them. Dreams and signs lead them across Central Asia into the mountains of Tibet, where the court of Kaloon and the sanctuary on the Mountain conceal rival women, ancient identities and supernatural power.

Leo’s relationship with Ayesha is tested by reincarnation, jealousy and the temptation of immortality. The sequel expands the mythology of She beyond Africa, turning the search for the lost queen into a Gothic pilgrimage through snow, war and sorcery toward a second, equally dangerous reunion.
