High Valley

Black magic drove these lovers from a hidden paradise! Salom was a young Chinese wanderer. Veshti was a beautiful Tibetan girl whose simple grace had won his heart. For a brief moment in the Valley of the Dreaming Phoenix, they found happiness in each other's arms. But beyond their love a malignant evil lurked. A fanatical Buddhist priest looked on Veshti with lustful eyes. A mad crone shrieked that Salom was a foreign demon. When the superstitious fears of the valley people flared into a burning hatred, Salom and Veshti knew they must escape. Forced to flee into the ice-fanged mountains, they met a strange destiny in the winter snows. This is the tender story of an idyllic love, its message so universal it has been called another Lost Horizon.
