Book Two of The Lyon Saga. Returning to Roanoke in 1588, a year after they left, the English colonists are dismayed to discover that their governor, John White, hasn’t returned with much- needed supplies. Back on Croatoan Island, Ananyas Dare and some others decide to head north to Chesapeake Bay, trying to find the colonists who split with their original group. When they meet with misfortune, Jess, Akaiyan and an Indian guide set out to search for them. But Spanish soldiers roam the unfamiliar territory, and Jess and Akaiyan are taken captive aboard a Spanish ship. Surrounded by danger, they must plan their escape against insurmountable odds.The Lyon Saga, a series of five books covering 25 years, tells the story of these first colonists through the eyes of Jessabel Archarde. Her compelling story is skillfully interwoven with actual events of that time period as they happened, or might have happened, including roving Spanish soldiers, marauding Indians, diseases and other hardships. Action and adventure abound, and readers ages 12 and up will find themselves swept up in Jess’s eventful life. The Lyon Saga books are a fictional treat and a perfect complement to the study of America’s early colonial history.
