To save her rancho, she forms an unlikely alliance of women—including an elite socialite and an escaped Chinese slave—and takes on the robber barons transforming San Francisco into a Gilded Age empire. Their fight draws them into the dangerous underbelly of the city, where financial fraud, trade in opium and slaves, and unchecked ambition threaten everything they love.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBay Lands\u003c\/i\u003e brings to life historically real, gritty heroes and fabulously wealthy financial titans locked in an epic power struggle.
