What are people saying?

“Mano” is a whirlwind of adventure, emotions, friendship and destiny that picks you up and sucks you into the story.”     
— Tiffany (age 13)

“If you like Orson Scott Card, you’ll like Mano!.  A “chosen one, ” a tortuous journey of self-discovery, an apocalyptic ending—all in a local setting!  Nicely concluded with a tantalizing epilogue pointing to a provocative sequel.  Can’t wait!”

The Hunt Begins!

A boy…

A haunted island…

Secrets…

A time-bending quest.

The island

A quiet dawn shatters when a giant orb explodes over Kaua’i.  Something powerful lurks under the island…a force so potent it is changing the laws of time.  The island sends signals to the earth’s dark creatures.  And they answer…

The boy

When bloodthirsty snake creatures invade his island and destroy his village, Mano is saved by the anukus, a mysterious race of mountain dwellers.  What ensues is a thrilling journey through the wondrous anuku world and the chilling world of the snake-creatures.  Mano begins to transform, yet he does not know why, or into what.  With the guidance of the anukus, Mano learns to use his powers and uncovers the mysteries of his ancestry.  But under each layer, more secrets appear, and visions of the past and future blur the boundaries of time.

The secrets

So many questions must be answered before the humans and anukus can defeat the invaders.  Why are the creatures in Kaua’i?  Who are they?  What happened that turned the island into a mecca for evil?  But most importantly, who is Mano, and why are the creatures hunting him?
