Daughters of Fire is a gripping adventure of romance, intrigue, myth, and murder set amid the cultural tensions of today’s Hawaiʻi.

Winner of the Independent Book Publishers Association Benjamin Franklin Silver Finalist Award for Popular Fiction

A visiting astronomer falls in love with a Hawaiian anthropologist who guides him into a Polynesian world of volcanoes, gods, and revered ancestors. The lovers get caught up in murder and intrigue as developers and politicians try to conceal that a long-dormant volcano is rumbling back to life above the hotel-laden Kona coast. The anthropologist joins forces with an aging seer and a young activist, and these three Hawaiian women summon their deepest traditions to confront the latest, most extravagant resort as the eruption and the murder expose deep rifts in paradise.

Tom Peek’s mystical and provocative novel picks up Hawaiʻi’s story where James Michener left off. Daughters of Fire illuminates how the islands’ post-statehood transformation into a tourist mecca and developers gold mine sparked a Native Hawaiian movement to reclaim their culture, protect sacred land, and step into the future with wisdom and aloha.

Includes an illustrated map and 9 original pen-and-ink drawings created for the novel by John D. Dawson. Also includes a Reading Group Guide.

Originally published in 2012, Daughters of Fire has become a classic of modern Hawaiian fiction. This edition includes a new introduction by the author.
