Description: ***Child of the Dawn 3rd book in a three-volume series--An Epic of Ancient Tahiti.***

**In the first volume, DAUGHTER OF THE REEF**, Tepua, the daughter of an atoll chief is stranded in an unknown island called Tahiti. Despite adversity and peril, she has made a life and found passion. **In the second volume, SISTER OF THE SUN,** she returns to her home atoll to find trouble brewing. She faces challenges both brutal and overwhelming as a band of foreigners ruins the mystical beauty of her island and unleashes the savagery at the heart of her homeland. **In the third volume, CHILD OF THE DAWN,** Tepua returns to her heart's home, Tahiti, only to discover that a stranger has come, overthrowing traditions and deposing the high chief. All who would oppose him have been driven away or killed and war has found a home in Tahiti. Tepua, though, is carrying the seed of a new beginning, a child she has been forbidden to bear--and she will do whatever she must to protect the child and the future of her people. Follows **DAUGHTER OF THE REEF** and **SISTER OF THE SUN** in An Epic of Ancient Tahiti series.
