A prisoner of his own mind, Richard de Burton’s family’s past haunts him. Having been unable to complete knights’ training and living up to his ancestor’s expectations and earning the title bestowed upon his ancestors since 1306, and losing the love of his life, Richard leaves his ancestral manor in Stafforshire, England in November of 1605 and sails to The New World in hopes for a new life, a life where he doesn’t feel the weight of his failures on his shoulder. After a harrowing journey across the sea, Jamestown isn’t quite what Richard expects, but it’s a new place to prove himself, find a new home, and hopefully someone to share his home with. But there’s only one woman who he wants to spend his life with, and she has been promised to someone else. Can anyone take his dear Elizabeth’s place? Finding friendship with the most unlikely people, Richard learns what it means to start fresh and show God’s love to everyone, even those deemed savages by everyone else. What awaits Richard in Jamestown? Will he find a new home with love and hope and prove that he’s more than a title?
