Jacqueline of Golden River

A young man who inherits a sudden legacy takes charge of a disoriented young woman, arranging her clothing, funds, and passage while she recalls little of her past. Their urban departures give way to a suspenseful journey in which they confront unscrupulous rivals, a weathered antagonist, and strange occurrences that include snow blindness, subterranean passages, and secret chambers within a château. Encounters escalate to duels, betrayals, and a gambling episode, culminating in revelations and confessions that resolve hidden identities and settle the conflicts surrounding the château.
