A Pilgrim's Heart: A Novel

“Only the strength of the heart can govern one’s fate.”

Tibet 1285. Nordun is ready to forgive her uncle for his sins, despite knowing he murdered her mother long ago. But her family is set on revenge— they’ve ordered Karma, the man Nordun is falling for, to hunt her uncle down and kill him.

Desperate to avoid more bloodshed, and determined to stand by her Buddhist beliefs, Nordun joins Karma on his journey under the false pretense of going on a pilgrimage to Lhasa, the place her uncle is hiding.

When faced with the inevitable, will Nordun risk losing her love, and her life, to save the man who murdered her mother?
