Little Pema Ling does not yet know that an extraordinary destiny awaits her. She does not know that she will meet exceptional beings, that she will cross Tibet up and down, that she will live in the snow and ice of the Himalayas. She does not suspect for a moment that she will become a brigand, a gang leader, a formidable and feared warrior. Yes, one day later, Pema Ling will become “the snow lioness”! But for the time being, deeply traumatized by the death of her father, sponsored by the gyalpo, the local despot, she is taken in by a monastery. Her hair cut, dressed as a boy, refusing to speak, she grows up with revenge in her heart, and lives in hatred of the gyalpo and his degenerate son.
