What will happen to an ordinary person if fate suddenly carries him to the very heart of the Gold Rush? That is exactly what our modern protagonist will have to experience, as chance places him in the Klondike of the late 19th century.
In a place where a human life costs less than an ounce of golden sand, and where harsh winters and untamed nature do not forgive weakness, he will have to endure snow squalls and clashes with predators, learn hunger and hopelessness, and stand firm against deadly risks and betrayal—so as to find his true wealth: reliable comrades and the long-awaited prize.
But the main test begins at the moment the hero realizes that gold means nothing without freedom and order. Together with his friends, he takes the side of justice in Dawson, challenging those who are used to getting their way through force, deceit, and villainy.
This book is about how a steadfast character and loyalty to one’s principles help not only to survive in harsh lands where, it seems, only a golden idol reigns, but also to remain human within yourself.
