The sequel to the New York Times-bestselling and National Book Award
longlisted Walk on Earth a Stranger.
After her harrowing journey west to California, Lee Westfall has finally
found a new home--one rich in gold, thanks to her magical power, a power
that seems to be changing every day. But this home is rich in other
ways, too: with friends who are searching for a place to be themselves,
just as she is, and with love. Jefferson--her longtime best
friend--hasn't stopped trying to win her heart. And Lee is more and more
tempted to say yes.
But her uncle Hiram hasn't given up his quest to get Lee and her power
under his control. When she's kidnapped and taken to him, Lee sees
firsthand the depths of her uncle's villainy. Yet Lee's magic is
growing. Gold no longer simply sings to her, it listens. It obeys her
call. Is it enough to destroy her uncle once and for all?
Rae Carson, acclaimed author of the Girl of Fire and Thorns series,
takes us deep into the gold fields as she continues this sweeping saga
of magic and history, and an unforgettable heroine who must come into
her own. Like a River Glorious is the second book in the Gold Seer
trilogy.
