Overview

The ancient history of whales is rich with ancestral tales of superior wisdom, prehistoric tradition, and unending love. During the cold seasons, the pods would gather around the Pacific islands where the elders would perform this history for the young. Through haunting songs and fluid dances, stories were told of the valor of warriors, the triumph of great chiefs, and the celestial songs of a mythical tribe of whales called the Navigators. According to tradition, females are prohibited from becoming Navigators but Lani, a young, vivacious female whale, is curious to learn more. Against the will of her elders, she attempts to satisfy her inquisitive mind by seeking out a mysterious old whale rumored to have a connection with the Navigators.

What she learns is more than she bargained for.

Lani leaves behind her friends, her family, and her duties as a female and sets out on a quest for knowledge and truth. On her journey through the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, she discovers her destiny and changes the history of whales forevermore.

A story of strength, self-discovery, love, and legacy, The Last Navigator resonates with anyone who has ever desired to know more or become more in life. It speaks to the hearts of young and old, inspiring us to follow our dreams.
