World Wakers
Michael Kanekoa, a half-Hawaiian half-English boy of twelve winters, feels the ache of his father’s absence. He calls out for closeness—a piece of granite answers, a lithic friendship for a wounded soul. Its name is Rune. Beyond Michael’s back garden the sundered worlds are being reconnected, and the greying has appeared. Near Lake Windermere trees, birds, and even rocks are turning to ash. Michael and his mother join the biologist Misaki Morimoto and her daughter, Heather, to discover the cause. The answer finds them.
World Wakers: Beginnings is a contemporary fantasy novel that draws from mythology, history, and the wonders of the natural world. It is the first in a series of novels.
