About the Book:
A Native Princess Follows Her Heart
Immerse yourself in the “what if” questions related to the Lost Colony
of Roanoke when a native princess meets an English widower.
Born
the daughter of a Powhatan chieftain and a woman of unknown origins,
Mato'aka enjoys a carefree life. When strange men from across the
eastern waters appear near her home, she regards them at first as a mere
curiosity. Soon, though, she finds herself torn between friendship with
one of their leaders and the opinions and politics of her elders. Drawn
to a young Englishman, John Rolfe, who has lost a wife and baby
daughter, she shares his griefs. . .and perhaps something more. Could
she have a future among the English of Jamestown, accepting their ways
and even changing her name? Could her fate be a part of the lasting
legacy of the Lost Colony of Roanoke?
Author Shannon McNear portrays history with vivid authenticity.

The colony at Roanoke disappeared into the shadows of history. But, what if at least one survived to leave a lasting legacy?
My Review:
Historical fiction is so much fun! Its like traveling back in time through the lives of these different women in this series. Mato'akais happy or seems to be with her life but when the English come upon their land a village she feels like life is calling her to go elsewhere. She finds that this strange feeling is pulling her away from everything she has held dear for so long.
Such a strong plot line and the series is immaculate. The characters come alive and can definitely hold their own. I loved the story of this native princess because it spoke a lot of some of the history that we already know about the Colony of Roanoke. Great addition to the series!
