He will never stop hunting me down. I have to end him. And soon.

Lee Westfall survived the dangerous journey to California. She found a new family in
the other outcasts of their wagon train, and Jefferson, her best friend, is beginning to woo her shamelessly. Now they have a real home--one rich in gold, thanks to Lee's magical ability to sense the precious metal in the world around her.

But Lee's Uncle Hiram has survived his own journey west. He's already murdered her parents, and he will do anything to have Lee and her talents under his control. No one is safe. When he kidnaps her, she sees firsthand the depths of his depravity.

Lee's magic is changing, though. It is growing. The gold no longer simply sings to her--it listens. It obeys her call. Will that alone be enough to destroy her uncle?

The second book of Rae Carson's acclaimed Gold Seer trilogy takes us deep into the heart of the gold fields and continues the epic story of an unforgettable heroine.

The gold runs deep. I feel it pulsing way down in the earth. It glitters in my mind. And when the gold speaks to me, I speak back.
