Description
In 1844 California, Captain Sean Mulkerin returns from the sea to find his family’s Malibu ranch threatened by crushing debt and a dangerous legacy of violence. With rumors of buried treasure and the possibility of gold drawing fortune seekers across the frontier, Sean must protect his determined mother and uncover the truth behind the family’s desperate situation. Set against the rugged landscape and turbulent history of early California, this richly atmospheric Western explores loyalty, courage, family honor, and survival. Vividly researched and propelled by action, it reflects a gift for bringing the American frontier and its larger-than-life characters to life.
