Once upon a Moai — Grace Jelsnik

Two thousand years ago, ten priestesses sealed evil within an extinct volcano on Easter Island. As long as they remained together, creating a stronghold of both mind and body, the beast could not escape. When slave traders capture the group 1750 years later, their descendants must separately begin a journey to northern climes, gathering in one place to recreate the stronghold. Unfortunately, awareness of their purpose has been lost over the generations, and they must be nudged in the direction of their chosen life-mates.

Once upon a Moai depicts the early days of the ten priestesses who must regroup to fight the forces of one so evil, he would sooner destroy the planet than allow himself to be re-incarcerated.
