A high-stakes police operation in a foreign country recovers a priceless collection of ancient artifacts stolen from India years ago. The responsibility of bringing them safely back to India is handed to a young Indian officer—intelligent, fearless, and known for trusting his instincts more than the rules. Without telling anyone, he changes the travel plan at the very last moment. That one decision saves the artifacts... But pulls his own life into a mystery he cannot explain. During the voyage to India, he meets a little girl aboard the ship. She plays with him. Laughs with him. Talks to him as though she has known him for a long time. Then she says something he cannot forget. **“Find me... and only then will you discover who you really are.”** Before he can understand what she means, a terrifying attack strikes the ship. The vessel begins sinking into the ocean. Trapped on the edge of death, the officer suddenly feels a small hand grab his. What happens next is impossible to explain. The ship that should have disappeared beneath the waves... **comes back to life.** But the little girl who saved him is gone. When he searches the passenger records for her, he discovers something disturbing. **There is no record of any such girl ever boarding the ship.** Then he checks the security footage. Every place where he remembers standing and talking with her... **the footage shows him standing completely alone.** So who was the girl he saw? The answer waiting for him in India is even more terrifying. Inside an Indian officer's wallet, he finds a photograph. It is her. The same little girl from the ship. And then the officer reveals a truth that changes everything. **“She's my daughter... She disappeared two years ago.”** How could a girl who vanished two years earlier have met him in the middle of the ocean? How was she able to touch him? Why did she come looking for him? What connects her to the ancient artifacts returning to India? And above all... **Why did she tell him that finding her would reveal who he truly is?** What begins as a search for a missing girl slowly leads him toward a boundary that exists on no map. And beyond that boundary lies more than the secret of a missing child... **It holds the truth about his own existence.** # THE MYSTIC BOUNDARY **Some boundaries can be crossed... and you can still return. Cross others... and you may never be the same person again.**
