Murder of a Monarchy

Murder of a Monarchy follows Kale Kekaulike, an Oxford-trained Hawaiian lawyer who returns home to find his kingdom dismantled, his people dispossessed, and the law turned into a weapon of occupation. When Queen Liliʻuokalani summons him to undertake an impossible legal challenge against the forces behind annexation, Kale must decide whether to risk his family, his future, and his life to expose the truth of Hawaiʻi’s stolen sovereignty. Set against the turbulent aftermath of the overthrow, the novel blends historical drama, legal suspense, and cultural resistance into a story of loyalty, identity, and one man’s fight to make an empire answer for the murder of a nation.
