It seems he has the key to his planet's salvation, but he discovers that his lover, who is the emperor's queen, carries his child. The emperor uses the shard to banish Ketuah to Earth. A vacationing skier named Frey finds the shard by accident. Together with his girlfriend and a young snowboarder, Frey travels through portals stalked by Ketuah. Frey and his companions are forced into the deadly situation by the shard's earthly guardians, who travel in search of Ketu's ultimate temple creation. Man-eating bears, Viking descendants, paranormal assassins, and more await the heroes. The unlikely adventurers face off with Ketuah in his Tower Temple that lies within the heart of Mt. Everest.
