In 1820, Hannah Alexander and her family are driven from their Indiana home near a fabled and famously haunted diamond mine. Hannah is raised amid the tragedy and turmoil of a young nation, becoming a brave and bold frontier heroine with enough ambition, intelligence and sheer moxie to go back and reclaim her land and find the diamonds.
But fate and history intervene and Hannah finds love and purpose as part of the Underground Railroad, her destiny intertwining with that of Belle Robinson and her family, escaped slaves seeking freedom in the North. Together they form a new family as they face corrupt officials and furious, hateful factions of greedy and barbarous men and women.
Will Hannah and Belle's new bond survive the turmoil of a nation tearing itself apart? Will the mysterious diamond mine ever be discovered by those lucky enough to live to tell the tale?
