Customer Reviews

Eagerly awaited

This is the fourth book in the Lyon Saga series of five and eagerly awaited. After Jess was kidnapped by pirates, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. In Queen Elizabeth I's court, she must work hard to gain freedom for herself and her friends, especially Enrique, locked up in the Tower. Great action, thrilling adventure. Make sure you read the books in order.

History Comes Alive!

This book makes colonial history come alive. Everyone thinks the first colonists were the Pilgrims. But these people were here long before. What happened to them? M. L. Stainer makes Jess and her adventures so exciting.

Highly Recommended

This social studies teacher wishes to recommend all the Lyon Saga books. I started with the first, The Lyon's Roar, and am now finished with the fourth, The Lyon's Throne. The books are fast-paced and exciting, very motivating to my students. It's a great way to learn about history.

This book is the greatest!

These books can't come out fast enough for me. I love the story! Jess is captured by pirates and returned to England. Queen Elizabeth won't release her or her friends. She must find a way to return to Croatoan Island. M. L. Stainer is a great author and keeps you always wondering what's going to happen next. I recommend this book and the series to everyone.

Another great book in the series.

Eighteen-year-old Jess, a survivor of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, her Croatoan Indian husband Akaiyan, their little daughter, Oohahn-ne, whose English name is Suzanne, and some of their friends are captured by pirates. They are rescued by an English ship, but forced to go to England. Jess no longer cares for her childhood home - her life is with the Indians now. She must persuade Queen Elizabeth to send her and her friends home to Croatoan Island. Will they ever get home?
