About This Book

A historical tale set in ancient Hawaii follows a royal woman who flees danger while pregnant, provoking a crisis when a powerful priest declares her claimed by a shark-god and panic spreads through the valley. A humble fisherman becomes caught up in her fate as rival chiefs, priests, and warriors navigate sacred taboos and dynastic expectations. The story traces vows, alliances, a royal marriage, the training of fighters, journeys over rugged mountains, and a climactic battle that confronts religious authority. Interwoven with the action are scenes of ritual sacrifice, mentorship, and island customs that shape characters and determine leadership for the next generation.
