In the shadow of California’s Gold Rush, a forgotten curse stirs beneath the hills of Folsom. Maya Collins, a determined historian, is drawn to the town by a miner’s journal she uncovers at an estate sale, filled with cryptic accounts of eerie tremors, ghostly sightings, and a vein of cursed gold that swallowed men whole. What begins as a quest for answers quickly spirals into a dangerous confrontation with a dark history buried for over a century.

Maya teams up with Alex Reed, a local journalist whose family is tied to the town’s past—and to the curse itself. As they delve deeper, they awaken the spirits of the land: Earth, Sky, and Water spirits bound by the greed of men long dead. Haunted by apparitions, misled by a trickster coyote spirit, and shaken by unnatural storms, Maya and Alex must unravel the mystery of the cursed gold before it consumes them both.

But as they confront the truth, Alex faces an even greater battle: confronting his own family’s role in the tragedy, one built on generations of lies and deception. Together, Maya and Alex must perform a ritual to break the curse, but it requires a personal sacrifice—one that will sever their ties to the greed and betrayal that brought them here.

With the spirits of the Nisenan watching over the land, Maya and Alex’s journey reveals the power of the past, the weight of unburied secrets, and the price of redemption. In The Curse of Folsom Gold, the earth remembers, and the spirits do not forget.
