Fallon, Gilda and Noshi survive the destruction that ends their Roanoke childhood but are separated by execution, forced migration, enslavement and adoption. Fallon reaches England and later struggles back towards Virginia, determined to honour the promise that he will recover the younger children entrusted to him.

Jamestown offers no simple reunion. English hunger and faction, Powhatan diplomacy and violence, and the different identities formed by years apart have changed each survivor. The novel places its fictional family near John Smith and Pocahontas while asking whether kinship is defined by blood, culture, vow or shared faith.
