Fires of Hina

Songs of the Universe: Book 2

Published Copy

Blurb

A vow of blood. A war for Thalassa. One final guardian.

In the aftermath of ecological collapse, Lani is one of the last whale protectors on a planet where silence has swallowed the sea. Haunted by the death of her cousin Sage—whose bond with the alien Nesoi once awakened global hope—Lani clings to a promise forged in blood and spirit: to guard the final songs of Earth's sacred whales.

But when the last humpback dies in her arms and the UN lifts its ban on human exploitation of Thalassa—the untouched ocean world where Sage met her destiny—Lani is thrust into a battle far beyond grief. With rage in her heart and the voice of her cousin echoing in her dreams, she must decide: Will she let heartbreak consume her, or rise to become Thalassa's final guardian?

From the black sands of Hawai'i to the far reaches of interstellar space, Songs of Hina is a powerful journey through sorrow, healing, and the soul-deep music that binds all life. For fans of The Overstory, Dune, and Avatar, this is a story of indigenous wisdom, radical love, and the courage to fight for a living planet—before its last song fades into silence.
