Emma Prince's island idyll on the north shore of Kauai is once again turned upside down when she discovers a centuries-old grudge lineage marking the Prince family for destruction. Emma resumes the search for her father, Aikue, an elusive Hawaiian artist, with more urgency now, convinced her uncle, Keoki, was murdered twenty-five years ago by this same grudge. Darkness is settling over Kauai again and among the signs that something bad is about to happen is the strange, unexplained illumination of Nounou Mountain, known as The Sleeping Giant, unearthing an ancient legend about a mythological Giant waking after an eternity to protect Kauai. As the present-day purveyor of the grudge lineage-and sorcerer-re-emerges from the shadows after learning of Emma's existence, her dreams (moe'uhane) and visions (akakū) guide the way as she faces spiraling events connected to the dead, sorcery, murder, and an ominous warning from a tattooed man that her lineage is revealed and she too must atone for her ancestors. As Emma strives to discover the identity of the evil sorcerer who murdered her uncle, Aikue is kidnapped. To save her father and enact more 'island justice', she embarks on a dangerous journey to one of the island's most 'storied places' (wahi pana).
