The first book in a new trilogy from acclaimed New York Times–bestselling author Rae Carson. A young woman with the magical ability to sense the presence of gold must flee her home, taking her on a sweeping and dangerous journey across Gold Rush–era America. Walk on Earth a Stranger begins an epic saga from one of the finest writers of young adult literature.
Lee Westfall has a secret. She can sense the presence of gold in the world around her. Veins deep beneath the earth, pebbles in the river, nuggets dug up from the forest floor. The buzz of gold means warmth and life and home—until everything is ripped away by a man who wants to control her. Left with nothing, Lee disguises herself as a boy and takes to the trail across the country. Gold was discovered in California, and where else could such a magical girl find herself, find safety?
Rae Carson, author of the acclaimed Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy, dazzles with the first book in the Gold Seer trilogy, introducing a strong heroine, a perilous road, a fantastical twist, and a slow-burning romance, as only she can.
This is SO GORGEOUS. And what a unique premise and setting! I haven't seen another YA during the California Gold Rush!!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is gorgeous, and the blurb sounds pretty epic. Definitely one to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty, Carina! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow this is such a pretty cover Carina! I like the colour theme that they've gone with, the gold and black tend to go so well together! I've only read one book by Carson before, but her writing was gorgeous, so can see why you are excited to experience more from her soon. Thanks for sharing! :)

OH MY GOSH YES. I'm dying a little bit. Why is it so far away?? If Rae Carson could release a book monthly, I'd be the happiest person ever--except I'd probably complain that still wasn't often enough. :) She's been teasing a Gold Rush book for agessssss and I want it NOW.
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this cover!! It's gorgeous. And the synopsis... <3 I just hope there's some swoon in there too hehe. Thank you for sharing, hon!
ReplyDeleteThis novel is beautifully written, full of lush descriptions and adventure. I am already looking forward to the next installment!
