Five Union prisoners escape the American Civil War by balloon, crash-landing on a remote volcanic island in the Pacific. Led by engineer Cyrus Smith, they transform themselves from castaways into colonists, building tools, shelter, and even a ship. Yet mysterious events suggest an unseen presence watching over them—unexplained rescues, strange gifts, and invisible protection. When pirates threaten their sanctuary, the island's deepest secret finally emerges, connecting their fate to another legendary adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
