From a friend helping Pocahontas establish peace to an indentured and orphaned nobody, Thomas Savage yearns to make his own way in the world.

Thomas is eager to help the Natives reconcile with the Jamestown Settlers. But all Governor Dale cares about is using him for his own selfish bidding. And then there’s the Native chief who’s determined Thomas should marry his arrogant daughter Ateanah. If he can learn to put up with his irritable “intended,” could she become the family he so desperately wants?

Meanwhile, Powhatan forces himself back into Thomas’s life, demanding he teach the way of the English to Powhatan’s more reasonable brother so he may become the next paramount chief. Otherwise, his warmongering brother will gain power, break the peace, and massacre the Settlers.

When Pocahontas travels to England and brings Thomas as interpreter, he uses the opportunity to go home to his Englishfamily where he meets a woman he thinks will suit him better than Ateanah.

But after tragedy strikes, his plans for his future may be lost.

Continue Thomas’s quest to help the English and Natives unify during an important and tumultuous period in history. Powhatan’s Power is Book Three of a series of YA historical novels. Taken from true events and written by genealogist and history lover Ora Smith, the Jamestown’s Boy Interpreter books are based on her ancestors and fit into what she calls Heritage Fiction. She is related to both Thomas Savage and likely the Accomack Native Americans.
