Publisher's Summary

Set in Almaden, California, in the 1850s. Young Jacob Smith is viewed as an outcast by his schoolmates, and following an attack by bullies, his family is forced to make a choice that will change his life forever. 

As the years pass and the Almaden Quicksilver Mining Establishment industrializes the town, Jacob feels a strong connection to the land, until one day he meets an ancient Native who reveals a mystic secret. 

Now, with the town endangered by a violent gang of outsiders, it is up to Jacob to harness the powers of spiritual Mount Umunhum and confront a destiny much greater than any boy could dream of.
