Publisher's Synopsis

Tangaroa's Godchild is a novel written by Olaf Ruhen. The book is set in the Pacific Islands and follows the story of a young boy named Tama who is chosen by the god Tangaroa to be his godchild. Tama is raised by his grandmother on a small island and is taught the ways of the sea and the importance of respecting the gods. As Tama grows older, he becomes a skilled sailor and fisherman, and his reputation spreads throughout the islands. However, his success also attracts the attention of a powerful and jealous chief who seeks to destroy Tama and his family. Tama must use all of his skills and knowledge to protect his loved ones and defeat his enemy. Along the way, he learns more about his connection to Tangaroa and the importance of his role as the godchild.
