Not for Clara Tice, the blacksmith's strange and stubborn daughter. Not for Mei, the healer whose calm presence in the makeshift camp for Chinese immigrants contrasts sharply with her brother's hard-eyed pursuit of riches. And certainly not for Haloke, a Nisenan shaman's granddaughter whose native village has been devastated by smallpox, hunger, and the relentless greed of Outsiders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne night, Clara and Haloke meet at the river's edge and watch in horror as Clementine Cobbs, the town beauty, is lured across the water. Together they witness something terrible in the Night Pool. Soon after, an unseen attacker descends upon the mining men of Coloma, abandoning heartless bodies one by one. As the gruesome killings in Coloma threaten to incite further violence, Clara, Haloke, and Mei find themselves unlikely allies--without the gangs, guns, or bravado of the men who claim Coloma's riches. The three women must work together to confront the evil that menaces them from both monsters and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gripping tale of sisterhood, vengeance, and survival, \u003ci\u003eThe Night Pool\u003c\/i\u003e explores the horrors of greed and lust, and the hidden strength of the most vulnerable among us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46212208656580,"sku":"9798228350274","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/7761\/7348\/files\/imageloader_cdd93e9b-edec-4edd-8a21-51360884d708.jpg?v=1780598631","url":"https:\/\/www.fmcbooks.com\/products\/the-night-pool","provider":"FMC Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
