Shambhala & the Caregiving Heart of the World

By: Jenkins, Verity

Ray embarks on a quest to combat her grandmother's Alzheimer's disease. She learns of the Elixir of Immortality, located in the hidden kingdom of Shambhala and accessible only through a sacred quest. The story takes a dark turn when Ray's mother is abducted during a royal coup in Nepal, coinciding with the most turbulent moment in the country's political history. With the help of Devi, a trained protector of Shambhala, and a Gurkha pilot, Ray rescues her mother and continues her pursuit of the Elixir.

Throughout the adventure, Ray faces deception, ancient dystopian worlds, and the teachings of Bon religion. The novel is a blend of magical realism and realistic fiction, offering insights into natural sciences and regional politics while presenting a compelling coming-of-age story. Ultimately, Ray learns that Shambhala is not a physical place but is revealed to those who see with the eyes of the heart.

Truly an adventure story for seekers of all ages. Shambhala is a stand-alone novel in the Ray Adventure Series.
