Book 2 of The El Dorado Trilogy, 1849-1857: Trilogy, 1849-1857: For George Harris, now a bishop, life could not be more perfect. Seven wives (all barren, unfortunately), six houses, and a
comfortable income. Then an old love comes to Salt Lake City, dragging the past behind her. She is an apostate, but she has a son and needs a husband. The good bishop offers his help. Two
thousand miles away, deep in the North Woods, Jed Marchion finds the happiness that eluded him in the West. And a brother he didn't know existed. For him, the West is a bad memory, but it's
about to become his worst nightmare. Brigham Young, now the ruler of a vast inland empire, hits upon a scheme to plunder the richest train to cross the prairies in 1857, the Fancher train.
Jed's sister and her three children are riding with that train.
