"The scent of adventure hung heavy in the air, a whisper of gold ripped from Montezuma's grasp. It began with a treasure, stolen and hidden within the hallowed walls of a Mexican church, then snatched away by two soldiers fleeing north, towards the promise of French settlements. But greed, a serpent in their hearts, turned brother against brother, and one fell to a cold blade. The survivor, pursued by the relentless spirits of the plains, buried his prize, a king's ransom, just before the earth claimed him too.

Now, Ronan Chantry, a rugged band of trappers, and a fiery Irish lass, her heart burning for vengeance, follow the faint trail of whispered landmarks, seeking the lost hoard. But they are not alone. The girl's own kin, the cunning Rafen Falvey, hungers for the gold's allure. He and Chantry, men of sharp minds and bolder spirits, could have been allies, comrades in the wild. But the glint of gold, a siren's call, shattered any chance of camaraderie. In this untamed land, where fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye, even the strongest bonds of friendship crumble before the lust for riches. The hunt is on, and only the boldest, the most cunning, will survive the treacherous journey to claim Montezuma's lost fortune."
