ROANOKE - THE LOST COLONY

ROANOKE - THE LOST COLONY

â€˜Roanoke â€“ The Lost Colonyâ€™ is based on a true story.

In 1590 a small fleet of English ships set sail for Virginia to provide relief for Englandâ€™s first colony in the Americas, established three years earlier on Roanoke Island. But when they arrived they found that the colony had completely disappeared; all the buildings had gone and there was no sign of a struggle or battle.
118 men, women and children had vanished without a trace. John White, the leader of the relief fleet was distraught as his daughter, Eleanor Dare, her husband and his three year old granddaughter, Virginia, were among the settlers.
The disappearance of the colony and in particular its youngest member Virginia Dare, the first English child to be born in the Americas, is a mystery that remains unsolved to this day and the disappearance quickly entered into folklore and mythology.

The novel begins in England in 2014. Oxford history Professor, Tiffany Macdonald, is asked to help a colleagueâ€™s friend who needs expert advice on a problem allegedly involving the 16th century mystery in North Carolina. Experiencing difficulties in her relationship with her absent army officer boyfriend, Tiff seizes the chance to get away from it all during the summer break and heads to the US. But her life is thrown into turmoil by the two men she encounters during her stay, both attractive and charming but with very different characters and moral strength. Professionally, she is quickly captivated by the unfolding historical mystery whilst emotionally she is forced to wrestle with both her conscience and her heart.

What began as a short academic trip rapidly turns her life upside down. Just as the historical significance of the discovery becomes clear, she is unwittingly drawn into the dark underworld of US organised crime and torn between two different worlds and the three men in her life.
