He reveals that they need to find the Jiva Sutra — the ancient Book of Life — before it falls into evil hands.

From the ruins of an ancient university in Nalanda, to the forests of Gir and the Temple of the Saffron Cats in Tibet, the siblings must battle the evil Hiramani in the bid to save the Jiva Sutra and restore balance to the earth.
