Island of Forgotten Fire
Book 2: Ash in the Bones of Kanaka
By Brinda Phokeedass
When the land remembers, nothing stays buried.
Anaya thought the storm she survived last year was the end of the island's old whispers. But when a forgotten volcano stirs and the earth trembles beneath the tea fields of Bois Chéri, she feels the ember awakening inside her - hotter, louder, impossible to ignore.
Drawn by visions of firewalkers and chained spirits, Anaya and her friends are pulled deeper into the island's past: rebel slaves who vanished beneath Trou Kanaka, secret tunnels where the earth breathes, and a spirit of molten flame waiting to rise again.
As the ancient mountain rumbles back to life, Anaya must reckon with the truth buried in ash - and decide if she will be the spark that sets her people's forgotten fire blazing once more.
Because the land is no longer sleeping.
And it demands to be remembered.
