Unveiling Shambhala's Secrets

A Battle Between Light and Dark

However, their journey is not without its challenges. They must combat the Asur forces and the dark prince Arden who holds Yeshe captive. This battle between light and dark, good and evil, is a thrilling core of this epic fantasy.

Drawn from Rich Mythology

The author, Charu Singh, draws richly from the vast pantheon of otherworldly beings that populate the myths of the Mahayana school of Buddhism. This depth of research lends authenticity to her storytelling, making Path of the Swan a surreally beautiful and mesmerizing account.
