A continuation of Daniel and Leila's story. After the magical wedding at the close of The Bone Bearer, after the honeymoon - what happens?

It's been several years since Teuila left Samoa bound for art school in New York. Now she's returned, a renowned sculptor, thinking she has left all remnants of her painful past behind. But there are some people you never forget, no matter how hard you try - as Keahi knows all too well. He too has changed. A brutally successful stint in the MMA led to his first movie role, and several films and one Academy award later, he's now a household name and just been voted People magazine's, SEXIEST MAN ALIVE. (Much to his amusement!) Drawn to the memory of the young girl he left behind, he has watched her career from afar and even reached out to help, unbeknownst to her. It's time for them to meet again. Both of them have suppressed their elemental gifts, but what will happen when they meet again and emotions run high? And there are dark forces awakening on the island as hotel developer and billionaire Marc Blair makes the fatal mistake of tangling with an ancient spirit woman and is cursed in return.

Leila returns to the land of her birth in search of family and instead discovers she is heir to a fiery elemental birthright...all while navigating through the drama of a new high school with the help of her new best friend "Simone daahling" - a boy with flawless makeup and the catwalk style of Kate Moss. She is introduced to the national sport of rugby and meets an irritating boy that would be much easier to hate if he didn't have chipped emerald eyes that were always laughing at her and a glorious golden smile. (The glistening, bronzed abs and Pacific warrior tattoos didn't help either.) There's hate, love, jealousy, volcanoes and lots of delicious Samoan food in Leila's coming-of-age journey as she realizes that ancient Pacific myths of elemental spirit women Telesa, contain more truth than fiction. Secrets are revealed and things get blown up as Leila must choose between sisterhood and the boy she loves. Can their love stand against the Covenant Keeper? There are many different kinds of love. All of them require sacrifice. Who will give everything for the one they love? A thriller-romance with a difference. If you enjoyed Twilight, then you will be enthralled by Telesa as it blends the richness (and humor) of Pacific mythology into a contemporary young adult love story that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page. " Tired of vampires and werewolves? TELESA has a supernatural element but a unique one... Like Air Benders and X-Men combined. Way cool. The Telesa women are an environmental terrorist group that wield their elemental powers with a fierce beauty and devastating impact..."

Daniel's story continues...with the fiery debate in English class and we meet Simone. If you're a Telesa fan then you'll love this insight into Daniel Tahi!
