Wind Castle

A National Weather Service research scientist is obsessed by a strange weather system. He is offered a new job by a man willing to underwrite his research. George Severe leads an expedition to a Colorado mountaintop near Durango, Colorado. A tragic incident thrusts him to a strange land where mythical creatures exist, stone is alive, and traditionally incompatible animals and plants thrive harmoniously. George is drawn into a developing conflict between the leaders of a local village and the suzerain of the land. As much as he tries to focus on his research, he is forced to choose between the villagers he thought had rescued him and the leader of the strange land.
