Summary:
"Set in 1790 Hawaiian Islands, Kamehameha the Great continues his battles to conquer chiefs and unite the islands. Eight years of battle had led to a stalemate. When Captain Cook found the islands the people lived in the Stone Age: no metals existed so all weapons were made of wood and stone and fought in close quarters. When Kamehameha saw the destruction of a village on the island of Hawaii in retaliation for Captain Cook's killing, he recognized the value of the noisy weapons of cannon and musket that could "kill from afar". The historical novel begins [when] Kalani-Moku-Tana, a seventeen-year-old orphan, enters the warrior school of Kamehameha in order to become a heroic warrior and be awarded land as a "black chief". If he fails, his mother and sisters face a life of slavery..."--Amazon.
