But as with all things that offer hope when hope has gone, the tale comes with a warning. Every wish demands a price. Hanalei of Tamarind is the cherished daughter of an old island family. But when her father steals a seadragon egg meant for an ailing princess, she is forced into a life of exile. In the years that follow, Hanalei finds solace in studying the majestic seadragons that roam the Nominomi Sea. Until, one day, an encounter with a female dragon offers her what she desires most: a chance to return home, and to right a terrible wrong. Samahtitamahenele, Sam, is the last remaining prince of Tamarind. But he can never inherit the throne, for Tamarind is a matriarchal society. With his mother ill and his grandmother nearing the end of her reign, Sam is left with two choices: to marry, or to find a cure for the sickness that has plagued his mother for ten long years. When a childhood companion returns from exile, she brings with her something he has not felt in a very long time--hope. But Hanalei and Sam are not the only ones searching for the dragonfruit. And as they battle enemies both near and far, there is another danger they cannot escape . . . that of the dragonfruit itself"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dragons $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Islands of the Pacific $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Young adult fiction. 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 8 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240604014237.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20240604012635.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240604011403.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240601011947.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240525011233.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011236.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013013.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010612.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B41DC1C091211EFA2C9076631ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
