A religious cult based on another island gains a foothold on Matavai. Several young natives are seduced by its charismatic leader Frye. Clare is kidnapped by one of Frye's disciples to become his bride and produce heirs to his dominion. Grief and Mauriti manage to rescue Clare and discredit Frye, thereby destroying his power over the impressionable followers. At home, Trent and Tahura fall deeper into their forbidden love. Tahura has never known such passion for any man. Trent is tested and willing to fight the narrow-minded attitudes of his parishioners to be with the woman who has captured his heart.
