"The opening of the novel introduces readers to the setting of Roanoke Island, where tension among the colonists is palpable as they discuss the implications of Virginia’s birth and the threat posed by nearby Native American tribes. The narrative kicks off with conversation among settlers, reflecting their anxiety and ambivalence towards their precarious position.
