Nakita, the Stonekeeper’s Daughter, lives in a remote village high on eagle
rock, where her father guards four sacred stones and conducts mysterious
experiments for his master.

Cut off from the outside world, Nakita longs to see what lies below the
mountain, but when she gives in to her curiousity and picks up one of the
stones, her life changes forever.

First she hears whispering voices in the stones, then her hair begins to turn
silver. And when her village is discovered by two strangers, she is forced to
flee into the valley below where she discovers the world is much stranger
than she ever imagined.
