Two sharks. One woman. A bond so sacred that history tried to erase it.
On the island of Tinian, before foreign ships reached the Mariana Islands, the healer Gåni discovers that family is not limited by blood alone. After two reef sharks save her life, an extraordinary bond forms between them-one rooted in trust, reciprocity, and the sacred relationship between humanity and the natural world.
As Gåni struggles to understand the meaning of this unlikely kinship, her village is forced to confront questions of tradition, belonging, and responsibility. But as outside forces reshape the islands and ancient ways begin to disappear, the bond they cherish faces its greatest test.
Inspired by CHamoru history, folklore, and cultural traditions, Sisters of the Reef is an original work of mythic fantasy exploring family, resilience, and the enduring connections that survive even when history attempts to erase them.
Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fantasy, Indigenous storytelling, and emotionally rich tales rooted in myth, culture, and the sea.
