The Lastling

Description

Welcome to the edge— there’s no way back…

The Lastling is an enthralling story of adventure and survival in the face of relentless wilderness and ruthless hunters.

The story is about a girl named Paris, who is on a trek in the Himalayas with her uncle and her uncle’s friends. On the way they come across a young Tibetan monk, Tahr, who reluctantly joins their party as his protector has died in an accident. As the trek progresses, Paris realizes the true reason for the journey – her uncle and his friends are a strange, gourmet dining club, dedicated to hunting down and eating the rarest possible animals. So when they discover a young yeti-like creature, who is very nearly human herself, Tahr convinces Paris that they have a duty to protect her, come what may.
