Summary: Samuel Collier, a young commoner, embarks on a voyage to the New World as Captain John Smith's page. Expecting riches, he instead faces a stormy journey and complex encounters with native peoples. On Virginia's shores, beauty and danger intertwine, leaving Samuel to navigate a world where allies and enemies blur. As he learns the Algonquian language and witnesses Captain Smith's diplomacy, Samuel discovers the chance to redefine himself. Will he seize the opportunity to forge a new identity in this untamed land?
