Shadowed by Moonlight ✔

Fifteen-year-old Toaolelā has always been jealous of his sister. Born with prodigious skill and enormous strength, Masina is better than him at everything, in spite of the fact that she's five years younger. And while she adores him, Toa is constantly pushing her away, knowing that the village would rather have her be the next high chief instead of him.

But when Toa's jealousy leads him to make a deal that sends Masina to the underworld, he must cross the ocean and find her before it's too late.

The dysfunctional family dynamics of "The Whale Rider" come to life in this fantastical world inspired by the tales of ancient Polynesia. SHADOWED BY MOONLIGHT is a story of gods and demons, high chiefs and chiefesses, and a little girl's unrequited love for a brother who hates her. As Toa seeks to make amends with Masina, he'll not only learn to love her, but will eventually learn to love and accept himself.
