"The Gates of Morning" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is set on the far-off Karolin and Palm Tree Islands, and follows the lives of Dick Lestrange and Katafa.

The threat of war and outsiders create issues for them. The story opens with Dick thinking about his role on Karolin after war left his people in danger; he recalls moving to Karolin after trouble on Palm Tree with Katafa. Dick knows he must get the tribe ready to face threats. The men of Palm Tree could arrive at any time seeking the missing women. Get ready for adventure, cultures clashing, relationships tested, and complex leadership challenges.
