Some people would say magic didn't ever exist, and never will. But they're wrong. High in Russia's northern providences, cloaked in snowy mountains, a snow leopard awaits, the lord of his kind. He is being hunted. If he dies, they die with him. Below the mountains, a sixteen year old girl named Roksana receives a bracelet, forged from the silver from the highest mountains. The delicate band is in the form of a snow leopard. If she calls, the leopard will come. The outcast and the hunter. No, the outcast and the hunted. When both girl and leopard come together, a dangerous journey begins. But after meeting a young mountaineer of questionable origins, another character is thrown into the mess. Avalanches, hunters, danger, and adventure await. It will not be easy. But if the leopards die, Russia will die out with them. And only Roksana can save them all.
