In the highlands of 18th-century Tibet unfolds the story of Kang Shiva and Moshi Rati — young betrothed partners who gradually come to know one another amid everyday concerns and medical practice. Kang’s devotion to his calling reveals new facets of his character to his future wife, but their peaceful life is suddenly disrupted by the unexpected appearance of a friend from Kang’s past.

The second volume tells a story of first doubts and the awakening of true feelings, of Tibetan wisdom, the path of a healer, and a love that blossoms among mountain peaks.
