Gold Within

Edward Jaithe arrives on the edge of a distant world with his family, a few meager possessions, and the hopes of establishing a new life. He quickly realizes that the Naturals will not forfeit their right to the pristine wilderness they have inhabited for thousands of years. When another vessel deposits a new cargo of fortune-seekers on the shores of the Commonwealth, Jaithe discovers the greatest threat is from within. Using excerpts from John Smith’s original writings, Gold Within illustrates the violent and brutal clash of cultures buried in the history of North America. Historical flavors mixed with elements of mystical fantasy re-create a world that no longer exists.
