Ether’s Caprice - A Novel by Jed Santos

WHEN CHIEF TIBETAN lama Monk Gyatso awakes in the Dharma Cave to find himself taken into custody by armed, uniformed men, he becomes convinced he exists not in his mental plane but in the real, material world. Tall structures, denuded mountains, glossy roads are all he needs to see to face one undeniable truth: He is no longer in 1914.

He runs away, after seeing a bizarre dying light in the Capital Hall’s underground. And what follows is an endless escape from danger. Little does he know, more than his physical safety being protected, he needs to safeguard his spiritual balance. A mysterious syndrome is plaguing humanity, an oligarchy is controlling the world, the people suffer from spiritual bleakness—amid all of these, will his goodness remain intact?

His goodness is then challenged when a sudden tragedy forces him to do more than praying. He decides to make a move on his own, but at the same time—unknowingly—sending himself within a predatory entity’s reach. Now he struggles not to lose, not his light, but his darkness . . .
