When Xerxes, king of Persia, issues a call for beautiful young women, Hadassah, a Jewish orphan living in Susa, is forcibly taken to the palace of the pagan ruler. After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as Esther wins the king's heart and a queen's crown. But because her situation is uncertain, she keeps her ethnic identity a secret until she learns that an evil and ambitious man has won the king's permission to exterminate all Jews - young and old, powerful, and helpless.

In my dreams, Odin whispers to me. He tells me I'm destined to wield a legendary sword. He tells me my road will bring me to Valhalla. But when I wake, I'm only Hervor. Fatherless. Unloved. Unwanted. Jarl Bjartmar, my grandfather, calls me cursed. My mother, her memories stolen by the gods, has forgotten me. Everyone tells me I should have been left to the wolves, but no one will tell me why. None but Eydis, a thrall with völva magic, believes I'm meant for a greater destiny. Yet who can believe a devotee of Loki?

IM IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK!

Publisher's Summary
In 1587, a fleet of English ships set sail for the Virginia colony. During a storm, one ship became separated from the others and was never seen again. The settlers on board were presumed lost at sea, but there is both historical and legendary evidence that the colonists actually founded the Roanoke colony.
Veteran novelist Hunt (Theyn Chronicles) reimagines this slice of Colonial history through the eyes of Jocelyn White, a newlywed reluctant to leave her home in England for the wild shores of the New World. White's journey is fraught with danger, but her dependence on God and God's providence carry her safely through. Hunt's engaging historical romance will appeal to fans of B.J. Hoff and Patricia Hickman. Recommended for most collections.

Fantastic Read!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely! The story was based on historical fact, and the characters were so believable.
What did you like best about this story?
The way the narration draws you into the story with the multitude of characters. It really gave you a sense of what it would have been like to walk in the shoes of the early settlers.
Which character – as performed by Lesley Parkin – was your favorite?
All of the characters were so well performed, but I thought Audrey was my favorite.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The end of the story, so I don't want to give it away!
Any additional comments?
This was a marvelous book in every way, especially the way the author took the facts and wove such a wonderful tale! The narration was brilliant, with so many character voices!

I couldn’t finish the book
I wanted to get into this series so much I listened to 30 chapters before I gave up. I listened to another series by this narrator and loved her so much that I gave this one a try. The story dragged on with no hook. There was nothing to hold my attention.

Excellent story and loved the narration!
Would you consider the audio edition of Roanoke to be better than the print version?
Yes, definitely.
What other book might you compare Roanoke to and why?
What does Lesley Parkin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Amazing range of voices and great storytelling that really immersed me in the plot.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Any additional comments?

Modernized
I found several modern day themes in this story. While it is difficult to fictionalize history outside our culture and time, some of the character contrasts were stereotypical and stark. The narrator was very good, although other family members thought it was too emotional. I thought it brought more life to the characters.
