Book description
War is a distant memory on the island, and life should be returning to
the former days of calm and abundance. Yet evil is spreading throughout
the land, leaving disturbances and distress in its wake. People are
reporting that they have seen strange sights out upon the water.
Children are missing from the islands and also from the mainland, while
hungry sharks in search of food swim closer to land than ever before.
What is upsetting the delicate balance of the land and the sea? Iuti
Mano, kinswoman of the sharks, is beginning to suspect that her violent
history is catching up with her. She has killed the god of the sharks in
order to free herself, but now, with her beloved children joining the
ranks of the missing, she must fight to restore that which she had most
wanted to slay... Carol Severance is a Hawaii-based writer with a
special interest in Pacific Island peoples and their environments. After
growing up in Denver, she served with the Peace Corps and later assisted
in anthropological fieldwork in the remote coral atolls of Truk,
Micronesia. She currently lives in Hilo, where she shares her home with
a scholarly fisherman, a surfer, and an undetermined number of geckos.
