Description
The year is 1792.Four strangers climb on board the Endeavor, the last ship out for the season filled with immigrating passengers, a stout crew, and cargo for their new lives. The journey promises to be one of hopeful expectation for: the new apprentice doctor, a timid but aspiring preacher, one arrogantly displaced Frenchman, and a Spanish blacksmith who has spent the majority of his life under an oppressive prejudice. A Christmas arrival in the colonies complete with everything they have been dreaming about awaits them on the other side of the ocean. Yet a sudden turn of events upends all their carefully laid plans, erasing whatever last shred of hope remains for that future. Fighting against a hurricane that is tearing apart the very means of their survival, the four men find themselves unexpectedly marooned on an unfamiliar island, dealing with the aftermath of sinister forces that have threatened on more than one occasion to end their very lives. Whether they want to or not, each man is now forced to come to terms with the dark creature that he has become and accept certain new truths regarding his physical and spiritual limitations. Can the doctor still practice medicine when the very treatments he uses drag him closer to the darkness he is trying to escape? Does God still have a plan and a purpose for the preacher, or has he been forced onto a very different timeline than what God had ever intended? Is the blacksmith willing to risk the very safety of his family in order to return to them, or must he now accept a life of solitude like the man who rescued them? And finally, will the French prisoner find what he is searching for as he embraces his new identity, or will his selfish choices only serve to destroy him from the inside out like all the others before him? As events unfold, though other questions and trials do persist, each man must also find the answer within himself for only one question alone. One overarching theme that will forever motivate his decisions and choices thereafter-Do I want to live forever?
