The Bridge Home — Matthew Williams

Behind the luxurious walls of an island palace, Prince Akiiki's life is peaceful -- but that peace is shattered when he is kidnapped and, under dark of night, taken into the unforgiving brush. Forced to survive not only the harsh environment but the ever-present threat of danger, it's not long before he despairs of ever seeing his home again. But when he meets a traveling shaman, hope is restored. Will he survive the long, dangerous journey home? And if he does, will be ever be the same?
