The final chapter in the Enso wisdom-quest series following our two heroes in search of their ultimate destinies ... beyond this life. Many people say there is no purpose in life, but there is ... you just have to search all your life to understand the mysteries ... not an easy task because the path is invisible and clouded with obscure clues. Our heroes do this through their experiences as all the prophets throughout time have advised. But just like the Tao ... many may know the way but few follow it.

The Song Dynasty ... an orphaned boy, raised by the great philosopher, Zhu Xi … seeks answers to the mystery of his life and the universe … and a young girl, rebelling at society's restrictions, seeking the wisdoms of ancient healing. They find their answers and, through their experiences, become eternally entangled … for to them, eternity means no time. Granny Panda once said, "Immortals are just ordinary people … who have done extra-ordinary things."With a small group of companions, they journey to Chang An, the ancient Tang capital. However, powerful forces are determined to stop them … all because of a new style tea?There must be something more here … some hidden meanings.

In Kochi, India, Yufei learns from an old Indian Guru. "The answers you seek are found at the birthplace of man … Gobekli Tepe … the same as on your amulet." Yufei is confused, "But I was told my amulet is from Mt. Kailash in the Himalayas." The old man smiles, "Gobekli and Kailash are not two places … how can they be?".A deadly new epidemic strikes Song China … a miracle herb from Arabia is discovered … but at a huge cost to the Imperial treasury … and wherever there are huge flows of gold … there are huge opportunities for corruption.When our young heroes discover the fake herb, it puts them and their loved ones in mortal danger. To help the Chinese people, our legendary heroes must embark on a perilous journey to Arabia to find the real miracle herb. … but at a devastating personal cost to Yufeng.All does not go well for Scorpion either, as he is captured by his old nemesis, the leader of the Brotherhood of Assassins. To succeed, they must overcome the Caliphate, the sultan of the Ayyubids, the Brotherhood of Assassins, and, as fugitives, the Chinese government forces.In Damascus, Yufei and Yufeng meet the great Jewish philosopher-physician, Moses Maimonides, who helps them overcome some hurdles and shares with them many of their shared ancient wisdoms and current Western medical practices.The Way to your immortality is through your experiences in this life.

The golden threads of their lives lead to this final quest to unlock the secrets of Mt. Kailash … but who will survive the hostile physical challenges or the invisible dark manifestations from inside the void. And just as they enter the boundaryless void … Yufei senses Yufeng in danger … Yufei fails to find her … he struggles to rejoin this world … but the scene before him is frightening beyond words. But then … something totally unexpected happens that is … joyous beyond words … and a new traveler joins them on their pathway … to the ultimate destiny of all immortals … eternity.Capital intrigue, personal revenge, and fate send our legendary heroes on a new journey to fulfill their destiny …. but first they must survive a deadly Kara-buran (black sandstorm) and defeat a large force of jihadi warriors. Only then can they learn the secrets of Mt. Kailash and discover their part in this drama of … light versus darkness.At Mt. Kailash, Yufei and Yufeng will make the critical inner journey into the sacred mandala with Yufei's father, Scorpion, and Yufeng's new friend, Qime, a kidnapped and abused Tibetan slave woman they acquire in ChangAn.To Tibetans, the sacred Mandala represents the harmony of the Tibetan Buddhist universe. But, as they learned in Gobekli Tepe, that harmony was disrupted several millennium ago by dark manifestations.Since creation, there has been a balance between Light and Dark … but, over time, that balance has been disrupted. Their aim is to enter the void and hopefully restore balance to the Mandala of the Universe.
