California, 1849. The gold fever maddens the men who, arriving from all over the world, reach the rivers and mountains where the most coveted metal is hidden.
Among them is Lorién, a young Spaniard to whom, after a desperate journey, chance gives him the most exciting adventure he could ever imagine: an immense love, an unbreakable friendship and an unconventional feat in an inhospitable land in full effervescence.
Luz Gabás has written a magnificent novel; a choral story about the challenges of life when loyalty and friendship confront survival, when the feeling of belonging to a territory rebels against the heart.
This is what California was like in the mid-19th century: the place where dreams began.
