NATURE AND ALL HUMANKIND ARE ENDANGERED. WHO WILL STOP THE IMPENDING DISASTER?

On a remote wilderness estate, a young eagle falls from the sky, uninjured but unable to fly. A portent of strange events to come? AT LOST LAKE, twelve young adults from juvenile detention enter a program to restart their lives. Some take to the beauty of the natural world, helping wounded wildlife in the animal rehab clinic and the outdoor survival training. Others arrive with covert plans.

Slowly, dangers will rise in the mountains, forests, and wetlands and in the realm of international intrigue. The small group at Lost Lake will have to abandon conflicts and schemes if they are going to awaken and stand against grave threats, both to themselves and all life on earth. One boy with a difficult past may be able to protect them—if his bizarre behavior doesn’t get him sent back to detention. Dhani Singh Jones thinks he hears animal voices. Does he possess an ability that he himself hates and resists? How can he fore-know events and detect what’s wrong with injured animals, when others can’t?

The survival trainer, a Marine veteran, is sure Dhani is a fraud. A Tibetan refugee helping in the animal clinic suspects his real past is not found in his police record but is concealed in forgotten mists of a past lifetime. Everyone at Lost Lake will wrestle with tough challenges and life-changing decisions to make—none more urgent than this: Is Dhani a dangerous con? Or is a force working through him to help save them all? The coming of the broken eagle touches off events that will build to a dramatic climax on the edge of global disaster.
