Today on #WomensEpics: The voyage of Hiiaka

This was one of the most amazing reads in the series. Hiiaka, little sister of the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele, sets out on an epic journey to bring Pele the man she'd dreamed about. Along the way, accompanied by other women, she battles monsters, dragons, sharks and bandits to clear the islands of danger.
She also battles her own loyalties: she falls in love with the man on the way home.
