Description

A young Swiss boy named Walter Rossel awakens to the eerie quiet of a ship anchored in a fog‑shrouded bay, his heart racing with the hope of finally reaching the promised land. Alongside his curious sister Elise and a motley crew of fellow immigrants, he watches the mist lift to reveal a bleak, swampy shoreline that offers little comfort but everything they have longed for. The narrative captures the mixture of excitement and disappointment that greets the newcomers as they step onto an unfamiliar continent, setting the stage for the challenges ahead.

Beyond the first glimpse of the desolate coast, the story hints at hidden dangers and secret treasures waiting to be uncovered in the wild north. Walter’s keen eye and his family’s determination draw them into a web of mystery that intertwines survival, friendship, and the lure of an undiscovered cache. Listeners will be drawn into this atmospheric adventure, eager to see how the young explorers confront the unknown.
