The Isle of Devils by E. Carson-Williams

IN PROGRESS:

The Isle of Devils

Traveling aboard the Sea Venture, the flagship of the Third Supply dispatched to the frontier settlement of Jamestowne, sixteen-year-old Alice Gilliam and her parents plan to secure their financial futures. When the ship encounters a hurricane and wrecks on Bermuda, known as the Isle of Devils, the castaways must learn to work together if they are to complete their mission to Jamestowne. But once on the island, allegiances shift and secrets become weapons. Witnessing mutinies, murders, and an execution, Alice learns how quickly power corrupts. If she is ever to see Jamestowne, surviving the island—and the inhabitants—becomes her new mission. An edgy, haunting, and yet factual retelling of early America’s colonial exploration that doesn’t shy away from unhappy endings, The Isle of Devils is the story of one of history’s little-known events.
