The Volcano’s Daughter

The island of Kāri-whero has erupted every seventy-two years for as long as anyone can remember. The last eruption was 1940. The next is due tomorrow. Volcanologist Dr. Anya Sharma has spent her life studying the volcano. She knows its patterns. She knows its dangers. She does not know that someone has sabotaged every evacuation route, every communication line, and every distress beacon. When the mountain begins to tremble, Anya realises she is trapped on the island with forty-three tourists — and three people who want to make sure no one survives. With only hours before the eruption, Anya must lead the terrified group through ash clouds, pyroclastic flows, and collapsing ground. She must also find the saboteurs before they finish what they started. But the volcano does not wait. And the mountain remembers every secret buried in its stone.
