When two members of an expedition to map the northern Himalayas are kidnapped, the remaining members will stop at nothing to get them back. They will face rebels, bandits, the elements, and even yetis in their quest. But when the search leads to a fabled lost city and an ancient treasure, everything changes.

The Cartographers Guild is a proud scientific organization dedicated to uniting the world through maps. For nearly a hundred years, they have sent teams of explorers to remote corners of the world to fill in blank spots. 

The Guild attracts the bravest, toughest, and above all the most curious people in the world — the kind of people who take the notation here be dragons as a challenge, not a warning.

Search for the Jade Mask follows a team of mapmakers sent to the remote Pamir Mountains in Central Asia on a peaceful expedition. But when two members of an expedition are kidnapped by bandits, everything changes. 

The cartographers’ search will take them before hostile officials, angry thugs, and riots – and that’s just what it takes to locate the missing members. To rescue their companions, they will elude bandits, fight a leopard, and battle yetis. Then the going gets tough. 

Can the cartographers save their friends from the clutches of a madman in a lost city?
