Some secrets were never meant to be unearthed-especially by her.
Book 1 of the Leilani Kealoha Trilogy
Detective Leilani Kealoha thought she'd escaped the shadows of her past-the whispered stories, the buried truths, the ancestral wounds woven into the soil of her Hawaiian childhood. But when a series of ritualistic murders on Oʻahu shakes the islands, each victim tied to disputed Native Hawaiian lands, Leilani is pulled into a case that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew.
As powerful elites, land developers, and political players strike backdoor deals to claim sacred ground, Leilani uncovers a conspiracy rooted in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom-a truth the state has spent generations trying to forget. With a killer who understands the old stories far too well, and a community caught between cultural survival and modern corruption, Leilani must confront the one thing she's avoided her entire life: her own legacy.
In a paradise haunted by history and hunted by a predator with a chilling purpose, Leilani must decide how far she's willing to go-and what she's willing to sacrifice-to protect the soul of her people.
