Synopsis

A shepherd in Andalusia dreams twice of a treasure buried near the pyramids and sells his flock to go looking. The journey through desert, omen, and an alchemist’s riddles is a parable about listening for the life you already suspect you should be living.

Synopses are original catalog copy written for Every Book Ever, not publisher blurbs.
