Overview

Can Gods Die?

Kalei Makena has been dreaming of a man. When he steps out of her dreams and into her life, things get even stranger. He tells her that a god is trapped and about to die. He asks her to help him, but she already has her hands full with job, two brothers and a grandfather who is a powerful Hawaiian kahuna. She also has an ex-boyfriend who can't take a hint.

There's something very different about the man she meets, and when someone she knows is killed, and her friends and family are threatened, she discovers how different he really is.

He's a shark, literally.

Hawaiian myth and magic weaves a tale of a woman, her family, and her fate.

This is the first book in the series. Usually when people think of Hawaiian legends, one of the first they think about is Nanaue, the Shark Man. He is a demi-god, part Shark god, part human, all scary.

In the novel we see some of that scariness, but we also see a son faithful to his father. A man who is a friend of humanity and a person who has faults and failings to rival any human. Mix in a family with deep traditional ties and watch what happens.

About the Author

Kai Bertrand is a native of Honolulu, Hawaii. She is proud of her Hawaiian upbringing. The multicultural atmosphere of the islands provided a rich and meaningful resource for her story telling. Raised in a typical island community (everyone is a little bit of this and a little bit of that) Kai discovered at an early age that reading could transport you anywhere and everywhere. Her encounter with a traditional Hawaiian storyteller gave her a burning desire to know more about ancient Hawaiian myths and legends. Her books are in some ways an attempt to carry on a dying art so well loved in her youth.

Kai grew up shy and reserved with a rich imagination and a fascination with adventure. It is not without significant impact on her life story, that she chose to develop her natural healing abilities. �My mom was a spiritual powerhouse and her presence could be felt before seen. She recognized and supported my developing skills without making a big fuss about it. It is just the way it was and it grew to be a wonderful thing for both of us.�

Although her strongest bonds are to the Hawaiian community, she ventured out into the world seeking experiences and adventure and has settled into the pace of a busy life in Seattle, Washington. She returns home occasionally to gain renewed inspiration for her writing. �It�s the distancing that has made me want to write and share the stories that so quickly bring me back to the islands.�

Her affinity for Hawaiian folklore, her own mystic calling, and story telling abilities have created an exciting recipe for success with her books.

�These are short exciting reads meant to be enjoyed on the beach, in front of a fireplace, or snuggled up in a down comforter on a cold and windy afternoon. They should be read in the same manner as comfort foods are eaten...in fact, it's a perfect combination.

It is my hope that my readers will be carried to these places and people, there to observe and speculate as if they were a neighborhood friend from just around the corner.�
