Overview

He has a thirst for death and power. Mako takes what he wants and crushes opposition. She has a gift. A young healer who converses with the Ancestors. But even with the voices in her head, Marama cannot quiet the panic in her heart as the impending threat to her home looms. The Ancestors offer deliverance, prophesying a land of abundance and sending Starman the navigator. But the decision is not easy. Marama's people must choose whether to trust the dead and leave Green Island or risk the erasure of their existence. Journey back on the tides of this 16th-century wayfaring odyssey when the art of celestial navigation meant more than oceanic voyages, but a future weaved by the Gods.
