A Love Forged in Fire, A Sacrifice Written in Lava
Born in the small fishing village of Kahali'i, a boy and a girl grow up bound by love and the whispered legends of their ancestors. Their future seemed as certain as the tide, their devotion as unshakable as the lava cliffs that framed their island home.
But when an enemy flotilla threatens their village, their love for their people and village is tested. With the ocean at their backs and fire in their hearts, they make an unthinkable choice-to offer themselves to Pele, the goddess of volcanoes, in a desperate plea to save their people.
Will their village be attacked and decimated by the enemy? Will the prayers for help be denied by Pele, or will the goddess of creation and destruction weave their souls into legend?
A breathtaking tale of love, sacrifice, and the untamed power of the islands, this story will ignite your spirit and leave you spellbound.
Christopher Myers is a seasoned writer whose journey began in high school, where he penned over 300 poems, laying the foundation for his literary aspirations. His dedication to the craft has spanned decades, culminating in the release of his debut novel, Sandcastles and Rainbows: Love Exists in the Universe on October 1, 2024, a project that has been over ten years in the making. Christopher's prose blends romance, science fiction, and philosophical musings, capturing the complexities of love and existence in a universe defined by both beauty and hardship. The anticipated sequel, Sandcastles and Rainbows II: The Search for Thron, is set to be published in 2025, continuing his exploration of deep, existential themes.
A lover of adventure, Christopher has traversed the globe, visiting all seven continents, including a recent expedition to Antarctica in 2024. His travels have taken him from the peaks of the Canadian Rockies to the vast plains of Argentina, and from the towering Great Wall of China to the ancient Pyramids of Giza. These experiences provide him with a rich palette from which he draws inspiration for his storytelling.
Christopher has lived in Michigan, Texas, California, and Hawaii, where he honed his culinary skills at Leeward Community College, with a perfect 4.0 GPA. When not writing or exploring new destinations, he enjoys the company of his cats, who have been constant companions throughout his life. He continues to travel the world alongside his wife, Yen, seeking new inspirations for his future works.
