Children of the Sacred Current invites readers into a sweeping, multigenerational journey through the mystical and turbulent history of Tahiti. For over a century, the Maeva women have carried a powerful legacy: the ability to touch the sacred current, a hidden force that connects the living to the spirits of the island. Each generation inherits a new form of this gift, adapting it to the changing tides of colonialism, war, and modernity. From Vairaumati, who follows luminous spirit paths in the ocean to protect sacred pearl beds, to her descendant Heimata, who wields her ancestral magic in a world of computers and satellites, the Maeva women stand at the crossroads of tradition and transformation. As they navigate love, loss, and the struggle to preserve their homeland against foreign powers, they are bound together by their connection to the island's invisible forces-and by the fierce spirit that guides their family. Blending magical realism with historical depth, Children of the Sacred Current is a celebration of resilience, cultural survival, and the unbreakable bond between land and spirit. This epic saga will carry readers from Tahiti's glittering lagoons to its darkest conflicts, leaving them spellbound by a world where magic lives just below the surface.
