The Adamantine Jewel
By Jeffrey Pears
A mystical, fast-paced, supernatural thriller that weaves adventure, spirituality and romance into one unforgettable epic.
UCLA professor, David Thoreau, leads a fulfilling life. With a black belt in karate, a top Ironman competitor, and a teenage daughter he’d give everything to protect, his world seems stable. But when a deadly disease strikes his daughter April, everything spirals into chaos. She has just 96 hours to live, and the authorities demand quarantine. David refuses to sit idle. His daughter’s life is worth risking everything.
In a desperate race against time, their journey leads them to India, where hope resides in a miraculous healing herb. But fate deals a cruel blow when their flight crashes in the treacherous Himalayan Mountains of Tibet.
What ensues is an epic saga of survival, love, and redemption. Together they confront their deepest fears and battle formidable adversaries. With each passing moment, the countdown to her demise draws nearer. Guided by a mystical Tibetan Bön Lama from an 18,000-year-old religion and aided by supernatural allies in the mystical “Land of the Gods,” they embark on a perilous quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy that only they can complete.
In a battle where life, death, and the supernatural collide, they discover that some destinies are forged in the crucible of the impossible—where a father’s devotion and a daughter’s courage shatter the very limits of time, space, and even death
