About this ebook
Kinipela fought with her magic, strictly controlling the need to work the weather and waves surrounding her island. The broken heart left behind by Moanna, her ex-wife, made control that much harder.
Then Kinipela's little brother arrived with news of storm clouds approaching against the wind, pulling Kinipela out of her grief and into a battle against her heart, her magic and everything she thought she was.
Boiling the Ocean Away is a story of magic, loss, life and discovering your true self that is sure to excite.

Boiling the Ocean Away
By Meyari McFarland
Kinipela laughed and pulled the wind down around her arms, her shoulders, over the faint curve of bust that was one of the only things to mark her as female rather than male. She spun it down further, around her waist like the sash of a sarong.
Then it swam on down, reaching for the warm water the other weather mage had summoned. There were two mages, Kinipela realized with a laugh of joy and fear and delight and sheer freedom. A War Mage as well as a Weather Mage, brothers perhaps?
It doesn't matter,
Kinipela said, sang, whispered, shouted. Dance with me, brothers. Dance with the wind and the waves. Dance with the sharks seeking your flesh and the eels that will eat your eyes!

Afterword
Boiling the Ocean Away
Wind flowed around Kinipela, slipping gentle around her cheeks, tangling in her hair like a lover's fingers drawn slow and gentle to comfort and tease. She could smell pineapple, sharp-sweet, on the wind. Kinipela turned away, shifting in the sand so that she would not have to look up the beach to the other homes, to the one at the far end where Moanna sat.
Moanna was signing, a happy hymn of thanksgiving to the Gods for the bounty of the sea, the fruits of the land. Her long black hair, sleek as the skin of a seal freshly emerged from the ocean, hung at her back. Even at this distance Kinipela could smell the sweat at the nook of Moanna's neck, feel the silk of her skin, the skin she'd never touch again.
Nets. She needed to fix the nets. The goddess of the sea had been angry with Kinipela the last time she'd gone out fishing. Her
