Roanoke - Joshua E McGinnis

A spellbinding historical and speculative thriller that reimagines the true mystery of the lost Roanoke colony. Published by True North Press, the novel follows pathfinder Silas Quinn as he returns to Roanoke Island in 1602 with a search expedition led by Captain Elias Gray. What they find is not a simple abandonment, but a terrifying ancient memory engine-a recursive, supernatural force that rewrites those who linger. Blending colonial history with dark speculative horror, the narrative explores sacrifice, the heavy cost of keeping secrets, and the enduring power of names.
