About This Book

A youthful warrior-queen of an Araucanian tribe navigates leadership after personal loss, defending her people against treacherous attackers while hosting and aiding visiting white youths. The narrative mixes frontier skirmishes, hunting expeditions, and forest treks with a rescue storyline when a young companion is captured by mysterious, possibly supernatural beings called Traucos. Encounters feature ambushes, daring raids, secret ruses, and a climactic confrontation that reveals the Trauco community and a forge of gold, culminating in reunions, tests of loyalty, and the reinforcement of tribal courage and solidarity.
