Clouds over the Heavenly Mountains

For photojournalist Gil Kohan, traveling the treacherous backroads of Asia to expose an international drug operation is just another day on the job. Divulging the devastating truth to millions is Gil's greatest passion, except for the one thing he cherishes even more--his beautiful fiancé Rebecca. Conceding to Rebecca's concerns, Gil agrees to forego future menacing assignments--as soon as he exposes an omnipotent Russian drug cartel. Gil has witnessed many fascinating events through his work, but he is unprepared for the impending circumstances that will change his life forever. While fleeing the Russian Mafia's vengeful wrath, Gil travels through China's Xin Jiang Autonomous Region, and becomes enchanted by the Heavenly Mountains. An aged Taoist priestess informs Gil that his arrival at this sacred place was preordained, and that his destiny is to lead a life of solitude. After several years embracing the mountains' spiritual rapture, Gil returns to Rebecca, defying the warning that his attempt to alter destiny will provoke horrific consequences. Clouds Over the Heavenly Mountains demonstrates Gil's struggle between passionate desire and practical reasoning, between spiritual awakening and secular needs. His extraordinary journey encompasses heart-pounding adventure, romantic aspiration and a revival of his divine self.
