Description
Summary:	"Nineteen-year-old Lehua travels to a mysterious island in her native homeland of Hawai'i to track down her missing sister and encounters sinister forces"-- Provided by publisher. For the world's wealthiest, Kōpaʻa Island Resort is more than a destination. It's the ultimate escape. With no cell service or Wi-Fi, the Hawaiian island is a coveted wellness retreat renowned for its persimmon orchard and promises of rejuvenation. But their dream vacation is Lehua's nightmare. When her twin sister, Ohia, goes missing, Lehua follows her trail to Kōpaʻa to find her. Instead, Lehua is cut off from civilization--and help--after the island's boat leaves without her, stranding her with the resort's lavish guests and enigmatic staff. As Lehua investigates Ohia's disappearance, she discovers her missing sister isn't the island's only mystery. Kōpaʻa's rich exterior and sweet persimmons hide its dark plantation past. And Lehua can't ignore the dreams haunting her each night--nor the warning telling her to leave the island at once. To uncover what happened to Ohia, Lehua will have to unearth the island's bloody history and face the horrors that lurk within its sugarcane fields--or risk being consumed by them.
