Overview
Lady Catherine is one of Queen Elizabeth’s favorite court maidens-until her forbidden romance with Sir Walter Ralegh is discovered. In a bitter twist of irony, the jealous queen banishes Cate to Ralegh’s colony of Roanoke, in the New World. Ralegh pledges to come for Cate, but as the months stretch out, Cate begins to doubt his promise and his love. Instead it is Manteo, a Croatoan Indian, whom the colonists-and Cate-increasingly turn to. Yet just as Cate’s longings for England and Ralegh fade and she discovers a new love in Manteo, Ralegh will finally set sail for the New World.
Seamlessly weaving together fact with fiction, Lisa Klein’s newest historical drama is an engrossing tale of adventure and forbidden love-kindled by one of the most famous mysteries in American history: the fate of the settlers at Roanoke, who disappeared without a trace forty years before the Pilgrims would set foot in Plymouth.
The story of a dramatic love triangle, inspired by a historical mystery

*This robust, convincing portrait of the Elizabethan world with complex, rounded characters wraps an intriguingly plausible solution to the “lost colony” mystery inside a compelling love story of subtle thematic depth.
Klein deftly balances the romantic appeal with the grueling reality of survival, the lives of original inhabitants, and factual background of English colonization.
Klein’s latest is a riveting, nuanced historical drama...[a] wrenching, richly told story.
A spellbinding tale of love, murder, and revenge.
