Queens of Mana (paperback)

Queens clash. Worlds bleed.

Namaka has survived the depths of the mer kingdom of Mu, but now an even greater threat rises from beneath the waves. The octopus god Kanaloa has seized control of Mu, wielding sorcery and strength beyond anything she has ever faced. To save the ocean she once devastated, Namaka must defeat a foe who seems impossible to overcome.

But the god-queens of Sawaiki are already at war. Above the waves, Pele and Poli‘ahu fight for dominion over the islands, each determined to destroy the other and rule Sawaiki alone. They cannot spare their strength for the battles beneath the sea—not when they are consumed by their own hunger for power.

Yet Kanaloa’s conquest is the culmination of Ages-long plans. For millennia, he has shaped events from the shadows, anticipating every challenge and bending his enemies toward his design. His power reaches beyond armies and kingdoms, and his grasp extends across the entire Worldsea.

As queens clash and oceans boil, Namaka must decide whether she is still the goddess who once unleashed destruction—or the one who can finally save the World she nearly destroyed.
