About this audiobook
When the stone gods of Easter Island fell silent, a frantic new faith was born from the ashes. Every year, a deadly race: warriors swam to a shark-infested isle for a single, fragile bird egg. The victor wasn't just a champion; he was crowned a living god for a year. This is the forgotten secret of the Birdman Cult—a brutal choice between survival and faith.
