Magic [EPUB ebook] 

When two close friends on a South Seas island become rivals for the same woman’s love, their bond shatters. Duped onto ships sailing in opposite directions, Tauti and Uliami endure the strange new world of San Francisco. Just as violence flares between them, the soulless city reminds the men of their island home — and reconciles their friendship when nothing else could.
