The island of Maui. A lost secret. An oral chant involving Captain Cook. A young man following the footsteps of his family around the island and into the past. Will Maui reveal her centuries-old secrets? Will Kai find what he seeks? In this thriller-travelogue, a young man's journey to deliver his father's ashes becomes a mad search when an oral chant suggests a valuable artifact may be hidden near an ancestral altar. As Kai races to find his family's sacred sites, he must navigate between the worlds of art theft, resort development, family secrets, and Hawaiian ethnic identity. The book is both the coming-of-age story of a young man, and the story of Maui itself --- the radical transformations of the culture, religion, and landscape of one of the world's most beloved islands.
