In 1587, 117 men, women, and children set sail from England to establish a new colony on Roanoke Island. Three years later, when their governor returned from a supply trip, they had vanished without a trace. The only clue to their fate was a single word carved into a tree: "CROATOAN."

This historical mystery delves into the heart of the Lost Colony's enigma, exploring the challenges faced by the colonists, their interactions with Native American tribes, and the various theories surrounding their disappearance. Was it a hostile attack? Disease? Starvation? Or did the colonists assimilate with the native population, leaving their English identities behind?

Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, this book brings to life the struggles and hopes of those who dared to build a new world on the shores of Roanoke Island.

This is a work of historical fiction based on real events. While the core elements of the story are based on factual accounts, certain aspects have been fictionalized to enhance the narrative and explore the various theories surrounding the colonists' fate.
