A twenty-year-old Richard de Burton is tormented by his past. Physical limitations prevented him from completing his training as a knight. Now he will never gain the respect or esteem his ancestors enjoyed.
Wandering the endless corridors of his ancestral home, Richard feels the weight of disappointment from generations past. To make matters worse, he has lost the love of his life, Elizabeth.
In November 1605, Richard leaves his manor in Staffordshire, England, and sets sail for the New World, determined to escape the burden of failure and heartbreak. Jamestown is not what he envisioned, but it offers a chance to prove himself—and perhaps find new love. Yet, his heart still aches for Elizabeth, now promised to another.
In the Virginia colony, Richard forms unexpected friendships and embraces a fresh start, reaching out to all—even those others reject.
Will Richard find hope, belonging, and love in Jamestown—and prove he is more than just his family name?
