In an age of brutal gods and warring kingdoms, one warrior's choice would decide the fate of a nation.
Drawing from the true, little-known history of the Hawaiian Islands, Chief of War is a sweeping historical epic about the legend behind the legend. It follows Kaʻiana, a warrior chief who abandons a life of bloodshed to seek peace. But when the four Hawaiian kingdoms are consumed by a war for unification, he is forced to return to the fray.
After a journey to the edge of the known world, Kaʻiana returns with a new, forbidden kind of power-the white man's fire-and a terrifying vision of the true storm gathering on the horizon. Betrayed by his own chief and haunted by the ghosts of a people sacrificed, Kaʻiana must now weave a shattered nation into a unified kingdom. His is not a fight for a crown, but a struggle to save a culture from a global empire they cannot even comprehend.
Chief of War: The Untold Legend of Ka'iana is a story of sacrifice, forbidden knowledge, and a warrior's defiant rise beyond myth and blood to forge a nation reborn.
