Before the Gold Rush of 1848–1858, Alta (Upper) California was an isolated cattle frontier—and home to a colorful group of Spanish-speaking, non-indigenous people known as Californios. Profiting from the forced labor of large numbers of local Indians, they carved out an almost feudal way of life, raising cattle along the California coast and valleys. Visitors described them as a good-looking, vibrant, improvident people. Many traces of their culture remain in California. Yet their prosperity rested entirely on undisputed ownership of large ranches. As they lost control of these in the wake of the Mexican War, they lost their high status and many were reduced to subsistence-level jobs or fell into abject poverty. Drawing on firsthand contemporary accounts, the authors chronicle the rise and fall of Californio men and women.

Captain Sean Mulkerin comes home from the sea to find his family home in jeopardy. After the death of his father, Sean’s determined mother, Eileen, took it upon herself to run the sprawling Rancho Malibu—until a fire destroyed her hard-earned profits. Now, on the edge of financial ruin, Eileen hopes Sean can help them find a way out. The rumor is that her late husband found gold in the wild and haunted California hills, but the only clue to its whereabouts lies with an ancient, enigmatic Indian. When Sean and Eileen set forth to retrace his father’s footsteps, they know they are in search of a questionable treasure—with creditors, greedy neighbors, and ruthless gunmen watching every move they make. Before they reach their destination, mother and son will test both the limits of their faith and the laws of nature as they seek salvation in a landscape where reality can blur like sand and sky in a desert mirage.

In the year 1767, Charles III of Spain's was suddenly challenged by the Russians, moving from Alaska into California. He is simultaneously threatened by the powerful Jesuit Order. Charles secretly banishes the Jesuits and commands the Franciscan padres to establish missions in California to secure its borders. From the ripples of the King's decrees, a century later begins the tale of the De Vargas family, the first of the Californios. Heir to Rancho Laguna, Alexander De Vargas, reluctantly arises from the chaos and corruption of Los Angeles, to challenge its authority. With America's sudden Declaration of War against Mexico in 1846, Alexander's loyalties are torn. Andreas Pico urges Alexander to join his fellow Californios Lancers to do battle against the American Army of the West, marching upon California. In intersecting lives, two orphaned Indians vainly attempt to assimilate into the world of the Anglos. Gregorio, son of the last Shaman, and Roberto, an overly confident neophyte translator for the Franciscans, join to rob, and survive as best they can in a new world of shifting politics and loyalties. All lives collide in 1846, at the Valley of San Pasquel, where the fate of Southern Californians will be decided.
