Description
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 17th-century Jamestown, this companion novel to Blood on the River explores the complexities of life in the early American colonies.
The story follows Virginia Laydon, an adolescent girl born into a colony where tensions with Native Americans are escalating. As she struggles to understand her own unique gift, Virginia must navigate the treacherous landscape of fear, prejudice, and self-discovery.
With the establishment of the first representative government and the arrival of enslaved Africans, the stakes are raised for Virginia and those around her. Will she find a way to live her truth, even if it means risking everything?
