Guests are disappearing from the Mauna Pele, a luxurious resort for the mega-rich on the Kona Coast of Hawaii. By overdeveloping paradise, billionaire Byron Trumbo has unwittingly reopened a centuries-old battle between Pele, goddess of volcanoes, and her immortal enemies.
Giant beasts are spotted, paying guests turn up dead and dismembered, volcanic eruptions fill the sky with smoke and flame, while fast-moving lava flows dangerously close to the resort.
Byron Trumbo is not one to allow mere details to stand in the way of his business negotiations. He invites his Japanese buyers to the Mauna Pele so that he can finalize the sale, even while events proceed out of his control.
Also at the Mauna Pele are two remarkable women: college professor Eleanor Perry and the totally indomitable Cordie Stumpf. This disparate trio join forces to face down natural catastrophe, supernatural mystery, and the wrath of the immortal enemies of the volcano goddess Pele.
