The year is 1790, the place Hawai'I, Kamehameha, an important Big Island chieftain, has begun his quest to unify all the islands under his rule. Western cannon, muskets, and ships will surely tip the balance in the battles to come - but who will train his warriors in their use? This is the story, not just of the British sailor John Young (Olohana) and his shipmate Isaac Davis, but of the warrior-statesman King Kamehameha I, who sought to end the constant, debilitating warfare of 18th century Hawai'I and bring a lasting peace to his island realm.
