Long ago, Tangaloa cast a fiery net upon the waters and drew forth the ocean's might in the crashing waves and surging tides that speak to Masina the moon. In Fire's Caress the story continues with the next generation of Telesa. She's the brilliant sculptor taking the art world by storm, a daughter of Samoa returning home. He's the fiery remnant of her past, who appears on what should be a night of triumph, weighted with dark secrets that could destroy them both. Can Teuila and Keahi find their way, even as a deadly threat emerges? Because there's a new power on the island, malevolent and hungry. His name is Marc Gold. His billion-dollar vision of a virus-free sanctuary in Samoa for the world's rich and privileged, threatens to wipe out an ancient settlement of the Aitu and awakens their retribution. There is a battle coming and it is one that could destroy them all. This is a Telesa World novel which continues the stories of key characters from the Telesa series. It can be read as a stand-alone book.
