About This Book

A country estate's mounting disputes over leases, coal, and tenant rights introduce a cast of local figures — a headstrong landowner, his daughter, a sympathetic young farmer's kin, and allies — whose grievances prompt a bold plan. The central young man departs for the Caribbean, where he becomes entangled in island intrigue, presidio politics, a search for treasure, and perilous mangrove and mission episodes. His eventual return reunites him with the community; the narrative concludes with personal reckonings, resolved land issues, reconciliations, and a romantic choice that settles competing claims and restores order to the dale.
