    Summary

    On the slopes of Nanga Parbat - the 'Killer Mountain' - in 1936, two rival expeditions race for glory - one led by Charles Xavier, a young English idealist, the other by Sebastian Shaw, backed by Nazi ambition.

    For Charles Xavier, the climb is meant to be a monument to curiosity and courage. For Erik Lehnsherr, an exiled German engineer, it’s a test of endurance - and a reckoning with the ghosts of his past.

    High on the Rakhiot Face, amid storms, rivalries, and avalanches, the two men begin to see each other clearly for the first time - not as adversaries, but as equals bound by the same fragile rope.

    A story of survival over glory, of awe and terror in thin air, and of love found at the edge of the world.
