KAHUNA
A Hawaiian supernatural thriller by Lopaka & Tanya Kapanui
If you had the power to curse someone… would you use it?
In modern-day Honolulu, beneath the surface of everyday island life, there are whispers of something older—something dangerous. A hidden group offers a forbidden service: they will place a curse on your enemy. No set price. No guarantees. Only one rule—you must have a reason.
Some clients come for revenge.
Some come for justice.
And some don’t realize the cost… until it’s too late.
Victoria never wanted that life for her son.
But when her child, Hansen “Boy” Nāpualawa, begins to show powerful, inexplicable abilities, he is taken under the watchful eye of “the office”—a secretive network tied to ancient Hawaiian spiritual practices and the unseen forces that still linger in the islands.
As old enemies resurface and dark intentions close in, Victoria is forced into an impossible choice: protect her son… or risk losing him to a world she cannot control.
When an assassination attempt shatters everything, Boy is left in the hands of those who would shape his future—and possibly weaponize his gifts.
Rooted in authentic Hawaiian culture, spirituality, and supernatural tradition, KAHUNA is a gripping work of Hawaiian supernatural fiction and magical realism, blending island history, family legacy, and the eternal struggle between right and wrong.
