Jamestown's Deliverance
The Kairos Makers Book 2
by C.A. Gray
Genre: Children's Adventure
Fresh from their brief adventure to colonial times, Gabe, Elizabeth, and Marty receive their next summons
from Thrylos, warning them that this will be a longer adventure, and to pack appropriately. Not knowing
what ‘longer’ means, the kids do as they’re told, and arrive on a deserted island in 1609, just in time to
see a shipwreck on the reefs!
It turns out that the ship is called the Sea Venture, and it was originally bound for the colony of
Jamestown, Virginia. The deserted island is called Bermuda, reputed at the time to be surrounded by
monsters. All the passengers of the Sea Venture survived the wreck, including one dog whom Elizabeth
happily adopts, but the ship itself did not. Gabe, Elizabeth, and Marty find themselves stranded with the
would-be settlers as they build two new ships and learn to survive off the land.
Nine months later, when the kids are really starting to wonder what they’re doing there, they finally set
sail in the new vessels for Jamestown—only to find that the remaining settlers there are at death’s door!
The kids learn from a mysterious prophetess that a resupply ship from England is on the way. But the
crew of the original Sea Venture doesn’t know this; they consider the colony a lost cause, and they are on
the verge of returning to England and letting it fail. Can Gabe, Elizabeth, and Marty convince them to just
hang on in Jamestown for a few more days, even when it looks like all is lost?
Christmas Night 1776
The Kairos Makers Book 1
Ten year old Gabriel Jordan always wanted to be a magician. He just isn’t very good at it. His godmother
writes to a mysterious traveling magician named Thrylos and begs him to visit Gabe, just to encourage
him. To her surprise and Gabe’s, Thrylos does so—only it turns out that Thrylos doesn’t just do “magic
tricks.” He’s a real magician, and he offers Gabe a magical adventure—any adventure—of his choice.
Gabe thinks long and hard about this. Because Gabe’s godparents adopted him when he lost his mom and
dad, he knows what it is to be sad, and to need something exciting to cheer him up. So he tells Thrylos
when he returns that he wants to give his adventure away to another kid who needs it more than he does.
Thrylos is so impressed with Gabe’s unselfish choice that he offers to make Gabe his apprentice instead.
Thrylos reveals that he is a time-traveling magician, and he travels throughout history to various critical,
kairos moments in time to make sure they happen the way they should. But he can’t do it alone. Gabe
asks if he can bring his adopted little sister Elizabeth and his bookish friend Marty as apprentices too, and
Thrylos agrees.
Together, the three kids travel to Christmas Night, 1776: the pivotal night of the American Revolutionary
War. Whether or not America ever becomes a nation hinges on General George Washington’s decision
that night, when it seems like everything has gone wrong. Can Gabe, Elizabeth, and Marty convince
General Washington to press on in the face of incredible odds? The fate of the future United States of
America hangs in the balance!
C.A. Gray is the author of three YA Amazon bestselling trilogies: PIERCING THE VEIL (magic and
quantum physics meet Arthurian legends), THE LIBERTY BOX (dystopian metaphysics and mind
control technology), and UNCANNY VALLEY (dystopian coming-of-age with neuroscience and super
intelligent A.I). She starts with some scientific concept that she's interested in learning more about herself,
and then creates lots of epic chaos and high-stakes action to go along with it. Her stories are free of
gratuitous violence, language, and sexual content, and she abhors depressing endings... but they're not all
kittens and rainbows either! She also listens to and reviews audiobooks on her website
(www.authorcagray.com), Goodreads, Instagram, and on her podcast, Clean Audiobook Reviews, where
she also occasionally interviews other authors.
By day, C.A. Gray practices naturopathic medicine, podcasts, and writes medical non-fiction under her
maiden name (Lauren Deville). She lives in Tucson, AZ with her husband Frank, and together they
maintain an occasionally contentious film review blog (under her real name: Lauren Baden. Three names.
Yes.) She's kind of the queen of multitasking--so in her spare time, she creates whatever meals or crafts
she found most recently on Pinterest, drinks lots of coffee (Aeropress btw) and occasional wine (reds--and
she saves the corks for craft projects), works out (while listening to audiobooks), and studies the Bible
(about half of the podcasts on Christian Natural Health are scripture meditations). ...She does sleep,
too.
