NEW PODCAST discussing the 8 part series. Deep in the icy shadows of the Himalayan peaks lies a secret that has eluded adventurers, mystics, and scholars for centuries—a 17th-century Tibetan text said to unravel the mysteries of life beyond death. But Shivam, the Book of the Second Death, is no ordinary manuscript. Those who dare to seek its forbidden truths risk losing their minds, their souls, or worse, their lives. In a race against time, antiquarian Julian Masters assembles an unlikely team: Charlie Daniels, a reclusive bookshop owner with an uncanny knack for the arcane; Ellena Price, a cunning rival with her sights set on the prize; and Ran Singh, a relentless former scholar willing to kill for the book’s secrets. Their journey leads to Rongbuk Monastery, a remote sanctuary guarded by spiritual tests that demand more than just courage—they demand a reckoning with mortality itself. As treacherous mountains, rival ambitions, and ancient rituals close in, the question looms: Who will unlock the secrets of the afterlife—and at what cost? The book doesn’t just promise answers. It demands sacrifice. Are you ready to face the Second Death?
