Tides of Mana

She controls the seas. Her sister controls the flames.

Together, they rule as god-queens over their Polynesian island paradise. No mortal army can stand against their power. Power, matched only by their pride. But when civil war erupts between them, there may soon be no kingdom left to rule.

The Sea Queen Namaka and her fiery sister, Pele, embark on a relentless quest for dominance, leaving devastation in their wake, and attracting attention from the merfolk who rule the deep. As Namaka turns the fury of the sea on her sister, wreaking untold devastation on the land and under the sea, she earns the ire of the mer kingdoms. Their answer: turn Namaka into one of them. Possessed by a mermaid spirit, she is drawn into battles in their alien world.

Amidst battles that span both land and sea, Namaka must confront the consequences of her choices and navigate the treacherous waters of power, betrayal, and redemption.

The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance between two sisters.

"Everything is grandiose and mythic as befitting Matt Larkin's other work with the Norse Gods and Olympians … It doesn't feel modern and thus it manages to feel timeless."

— C.T. Phipps, Author of Cthulhu Armageddon

Heirs of Mana is an epic melding Polynesian myths, Pacific Islander folklore, and dark fantasy in a world of endless ocean. This is a dark mythological retelling filled with gods and monsters from the Oceanic world. It serves as a prequel to The Ragnarök Prophecy and a sequel to Tapestry of Fate.

What readers are saying:

"An extraordinary rendering of Polynesian Myth. As with the Norse part of the cycle, an enormous amount of research has gone into it. Which, together with some sublime storytelling, makes for a more interesting and enjoyable read. It astonishes me that Matt Larkin has such intricate knowledge of both Nordic as Polynesian mythologies." -Amazon Review ★★★★★

"Matt Larkin, is arguably the current master of the Mythic Legend genre. He has created the far reaching Eschaton Cycle that interweaves religions, myths, and legends of cultures and people through out time and across the face of the Earth as we know it." -Amazon Review ★★★★★

"After reading this book, I can not wait to read the rest, and not just this series, but other series by Matt Larkin.. He might just be my new favorite author, as I adore books based upon mythology and history." -Amazon Review ★★★★★

"It is bloody great. A really fresh, different take on fantasy that sidesteps the usual tropes and tired mechanisms. A gritty, visceral epic inspired by and borrowing from Polynesian roots. There is a wide cast of powerful and flawed characters, the story following the ties and conflicts between sisters and their catastrophic consequences. Thrilling stuff, and I'll be buying the next book!" -Amazon Review ★★★★★

"I don't know a lot about polynesian mythology, but I know enough to say that this book manages to capture it superbly and turn it into a compelling and highly-entertaining story." -Amazon Review ★★★★★
