Child of the Dawn — Clare Coleman

On The Ancient Pacifice Islands, One Woman's Defiant Dream Changed The Course Of History
Once Tahiti seemed a strage and terrifying place to the castaway named Tepua. Now, it was her home and her destiny. She longed to return to its beautiful shores, to her friends, and to her lover. But while she was away on a journey to her birthplace -- everything she loved about Tahiti was destroyed...

A ruthless outsider has overthrown the high chief. All who resist are driven away or killed. And Tepua has come back to find her island at war. Still, there is hope. For the promise of a new beginning is growing within Tepua -- an unborn child she is forbidden to bear...a child she must protect for the future of her people.
