"Hiwa: A Tale of Ancient Hawaii" by Edmund P. Dole is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in ancient Hawaii, focusing on the life of Hiwa, a goddess-queen, and her struggles against the formidable high-priest Aa amidst themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. The narrative follows Hiwa's quest for her son Aelani, who is fated to become a ruler, and her turmoil surrounding her vow to the god Ku, which threatens both her life and the fate of the kingdom. The opening of the tale introduces readers to a lush and vibrant Waipio Valley, where the royal court lies in revelry after a night of indulgence. Hiwa, in her desperate flight from enemies, encounters Eaeakai, a fisherman who unwittingly aids her while fearing the repercussions of his actions. As the narrative progresses, Hiwa's regal background and her complicated relationship with both her lover, Kaanaana, and the treacherous Aa become clear. She ultimately seeks to protect her child and uphold her divine legacy, all while grappling with the consequences of her past actions as she strives to fulfill her vow in a world rife with danger and political intrigue. This rich tapestry of myth and profound destiny sets the stage for an epic story that promises love, conflict, and the harsh demands of a ruler's duty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
