The Seekers

The Seekers Synopsis

Hilo Dome: Volume 2 - When Pele awakens, survival depends on ancient ways.

In the aftermath of the Great War, Nathan Ohana and his crew aboard the canoe Kaulele must find safety as earthquakes and eruptions threaten to destroy Hilo. Guided by traditional Hawaiian navigation, they set out across dangerous seas, hoping to lead their community to refuge before the land is swallowed by fire.

Their journey takes them to abandoned islands and fragile outposts of survivors, where old grudges and cultural divides test their resolve. The crew must weigh survival against tradition, progress against the wisdom of the past, as they navigate both the ocean and the shifting loyalties of those they encounter.

Jack Bartley blends Hawaiian mythology, post-apocalyptic survival, and the art of wayfinding in this second volume of the Hilo Dome series. As Madame Pele's fury builds on Mauna Loa, Nathan and his crew discover that the greatest challenge lies not in outrunning the fire, but in holding fast to the values that can carry their people beyond it.
