About This Book

A band of young riders and their experienced guides face a sudden forest fire that threatens a mountain village. They organize a nighttime evacuation, battle flames and swift currents, and search for missing companions and horses after the blaze. Investigations uncover wounded prospectors, stolen gold, and the presence of bandits; friendships, quick thinking, and individual courage help them manage rescues and confrontations. Local legends, a mysterious newcomer, and stolen diaries deepen the mystery and spur search parties, leading the group through a sequence of daring rescues, revelations, and practical problem-solving before the village and traveling party reach safety.
