Their next destination is Tibet, where Pendergast received rigorous training in both martial arts and spirituality. While visiting a secluded monastery, they discover that a valuable and perilous artifact, protected by monks for centuries, has gone missing under mysterious circumstances. Pendergast agrees to assist in the search for the stolen artifact, leading him and Constance on a thrilling journey aboard the maiden voyage of the Queen Victoria, the largest and most opulent passenger ship in the world. Their Atlantic crossing is filled with danger and suspense as they unravel the secrets behind the artifact's disappearance.
